Restart/Recreation of keda-operator causes ScaledJob object to be updated, which leads to Jobs being rolled out as per the RolloutStrategy.

Expected Behavior

Restart/Recreation of the keda-operator should not update the ScaledJob object

Actual Behavior

Restart/Recreation of the keda-operator somehow update the ScaledJob object leading to Jobs being rolled out as per the RolloutStrategy.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Kill the keda-operator (with replicas >1).
2. Wait for the keda-operator to be recreated.
3. In the Kubernetes events for the ScaledJob object, around the time the keda-operator was restarted the following events can be seen:
   i. KEDAJobsCreated
   ii. KEDAScalersStarted

KEDA Version

Anything else?

This could also be the expected behavior of the keda-operator. However I do not understand why any changes the to keda-operator should affect the ScaledJob object.
