Grant RBAC permissions to non-aerospike Kubernetes namespaces​

caution

There is a known issue in OLM based installations (OperatorHub.io and on Red Hat OpenShift) where upgrade to version 2.2.0 from 2.1.0, causes revoking of RBAC privileges required to run Aerospike clusters in Kubernetes namespaces other than the aerospike namespace.

If you are running Aerospike clusters in Kubernetes namespaces other than the aerospike namespace, re-grant the RBAC privileges following instructions here.
