Add a note about the necessity to restart pods

Alexandr Tanayno requested to merge docs-pod-restart-note into master

What does this MR do?

After configuring GitLab Helm chart with an external database, I noticed that some pods were throwing errors referring to the old database:

2022-02-16T12:40:15.549Z pid=21 tid=61nd ERROR: CRON JOB: could not translate host name "gitlab-postgresql.gitlab-ns.svc" to address: Name or service not known

It was necessary to restart all the pods to make GitLab Helm chart work with the new database.

This MR adds a note about it to the docs.
