Summary

During a split update (cifmw_update_variant: split), the "Run tests after Services update" task in update_variant_split.yml runs the full cifmw_test_operator_stages (tobiko + tempest) while the continuous control
plane check is still active in the background.
The control plane check continuously creates and deletes VMs, which can collide with tobiko's action_on_all_instances('active') call, causing non-deterministic failures when tobiko encounters VMs in BUILD state.

This PR overrides cifmw_test_operator_stages in the intermediate post-services test task to only include tempest. Tobiko continues to run as before in the final post-update stage (update-edpm.yml), where the control plane check has already been stopped.

Context

This is an alternative approach to #3978, which stops and restarts the control plane check around the intermediate tests. This approach was suggested during review as a cleaner solution that preserves uninterrupted control plane monitoring throughout the entire update.

Closes: OSPCIX-1381
Assisted-By: Cursor

During a split update, the continuous control plane check runs
in the background creating and deleting VMs in a loop. When
tobiko tests run in the intermediate post-services test stage,
they may encounter these transient VMs in BUILD state, causing
non-deterministic failures (HTTP 409 Conflict / HTTP 404).

Override cifmw_test_operator_stages in the post-services test
task to run only tempest, excluding tobiko from the intermediate
stage. Tobiko continues to run in the final post-update test
stage (in update-edpm.yml), after the control plane check has
been stopped.

Closes: OSPCIX-1381
