.`rolling_update` no longer sets and unsets flags in between each OSD upgrade
The `rolling_update` playbook of the `ceph-ansible` utility set and unset the `noout`, `noscrub`, and `nodeep-scrub` flags in between each OSD upgrade. If a scrubbing process was scheduled to start shortly or was in progress, setting these flags did not stop scrubbing immediately, and `rolling_update` waited until scrubbing was finished. This process was repeated on each OSD with scheduled scrubbing or scrubbing in progress. This behavior caused the upgrade process to take considerable time to finish. This update ensures that the flags are set before upgrading all OSDs, and are unset after all OSDs are upgraded.
a) Description of problem:
The rolling upgrade rules in rolling_update.yml set and unset cluster flags (noout, noscrub, nodeep-scrub)) in between each OSD upgrade. This causes problems in case the PGs are on the verge of scrub or an ongoing scrub.
If scrubbing is either happening or is supposed to start shortly, setting the cluster flags will not stop the scrub immediately, it will wait till the scrub finishes on the locked chunk. Once the upgrade of one OSD is finished, the flags are removed, which will trigger the pending scrub. The next OSD upgrade will require setting the flags again, but since the PGs are being scrubbed at that time, the upgrade process won't continue. It will have to wait till the scrub finishes.
The upgrade process can take considerable time in finishing in this situation. Setting the cluster flags once, upgrading all the OSDs properly, and removing the flags should be less intrusive in the upgrade process.

b) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHCS 2.x
c) How reproducible:
Reproducible when the upgrade is done amidst scrubbing.
Parikshith, the flags are set at the end of the mon upgrade and unset at the end of the OSDs upgrade, when the last one finishes.
So the behaviour is correct, please move this to VERIFIED.
Thanks.
