Bug 1782404

Description of problem:
After deploying OpenShift 4.2.9 into Azure we have a constant stream of UpdateError warnings on the master machines:
~~~~
17s         Warning   FailedUpdate   machine/master-0                  UpdateError: failed to update machine "master-0": found attempt to change immutable state
4m45s       Warning   FailedUpdate   machine/master-1                  UpdateError: failed to update machine "master-1": found attempt to change immutable state
2m19s       Warning   FailedUpdate   machine/master-2                  UpdateError: failed to update machine "master-2": found attempt to change immutable state
~~~~

Theser errors appear since the initial installation, nothing have changed on the machineconfig objects since running the installer.

Errors in machine-controller:

These errors are filling the event stream with red warning events. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.9


How reproducible:
Have not been able to reproduce this in-house


Steps to Reproduce:
1.n/a
2.
3.

Actual results: Machine events are spammed with the messages 'UpdateError: failed to update machine "master-2": found attempt to change immutable state' for master machines.


Expected results: These events are either not fed to the machine events or are suppressed. (If these events are 'normal' for master machines)
