Restore Data Movement Node Selection

[MuriloCouceiro]

Describe the problem/challenge you have In a hybrid (Windows and Ubuntu) cluster, I need to run Velero's pods on my Ubuntu nodes. I'm using the node-agent-config for the CSI Snapshot backup data movement, however, I cannot restore these backups since node selection is not allowed. The setup uses an NFS CSI Driver SC with Immediate Volume Binding.

Describe the solution you'd like Use the node-agent-config Configmap node selector for the restore data movement pods.

The reason we chose not to support node selection in restore, is to cover the "waitForFirstConsumer" storageclasses where we need to wait for the restored pod be scheduled first before restoring the PV.

This can be easily fixed if #8044 is fixed.
