Description of problem:
--------------------------------------------------
as a part of the new KubeVirt rate limiting testing, I tried to increase the number of virt-api pods using this which had no issues before,
I suspect the new auto virt-api auto-scaler overwrites the manual patch.

Steps to Reproduce:
--------------------------------------------------

apply the following patch:

oc patch hco -n openshift-cnv kubevirt-hyperconverged --type=merge -p '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"kubevirt.kubevirt.io/jsonpatch":"[{\"op\": \"add\", \"path\": \"/spec/customizeComponents/patches\", \"value\": [{\"resourceType\": \"Deployment\", \"resourceName\": \"virt-api\", \"type\": \"json\", \"patch\": \"[{\\\"op\\\": \\\"replace\\\", \\\"path\\\": \\\"/spec/replicas\\\", \\\"value\\\": 6}]\"}]}]"}}}'
