The Memory Manager Metrics BeforeEach asserts that zero pods are
running on the node after a kubelet config update. This hard assertion
flakes when a preceding serial test's namespace deletion hasn't
completed yet — framework namespace cleanup is async and the kubelet
restart in updateKubeletConfig can delay in-flight pod termination.
CI logs show leftover pods from MemoryQoS tests (memqos-burstable,
memqos-no-limit, etc.), Probe Stress tests (50-container pods), and
Summary API PSI tests (memory-pressure-pod), all still Running when
the assertion fires 4-7ms after the previous test finishes.
Replace the immediate Expect(count).To(BeZero()) with an Eventually
poll (2 minute timeout, 5 second interval) that gives pods time to
drain after the kubelet restart. The existing printAllPodsOnNode
diagnostic output is preserved inside the poll for debugging.
