During cluster upgrades (4.20→4.21), the console and downloads PDBs block node draining when pods are unhealthy or stuck, causing MCO to timeout and fail:
Cannot evict pod as it would violate the pod's disruption budget

Solution:
Add unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy: AlwaysAllow to both PDBs.
This allows unhealthy/stuck pods to be evicted even if it violates the budget, while healthy pods remain protected by maxUnavailable: 1
Impact
✅ Unblocks cluster upgrades (fixes node drain failures)
✅ Maintains availability guarantee during normal operations
✅ Works for both SNO and HA topologies
✅ No behavior change for healthy pods

@jhadvig It looks like you need to update the title to include "OCPBUGS-72260".🙂
