e2e: retry getting Pods before executing commands

On occasion the Pods have not been (re)started before they get listed.
This can result in an empty list. It can occur during RBD testing where
Pods are restarted before `uname` is executed. In case the Pods are not
available yet, the test will fail with the "podlist is empty" error.

By adding a retry when the list of Pods is empty, the tests should
become a little more stable.
