The enforce version of the policy.

Description of problem:
The inform Policy which applies the DU configuration for ClusterLogForwarding never resolves to the Compliant state. This inform policy is copied to create an enforce policy which is used to apply the configuration to the cluster. The enforce version of the Policy goes compliant but the inform version of the Policy remains NotCompliant.

The inform policy (enforce copy attached)

The applied ClusterLogForwarder configuration continues to grow in size as additional content is continually added to the spec.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.10


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy cluster using gitops ZTP configured for inform policies
2. Use Topology Aware Lifecycle Operator to remediate those policies to cluster
3.

Actual results:
ClusterLogForwarder inform policy does not go compliant but the enforce policy does. ClusterLogForwarder CR on the cluster continues to grow.

Expected results:
Both policies go compliant. ClusterLogForwarder gets desired content.
