Improve PVC ref volume metric test robustness
This test has been flaking. The current working theory is that
volume stats collection didn't run in time to grab the metrics
from the newly created pod.
Made the following changes:
- Added more logs to help debug future failures
- Poll metrics a few additional times before failing the test
