* Soak Test for CNI.

Soak Test runs a fundamental test, like connectivity across pods
launched in both primary and secondary eni interfaces.

It launches pods, tests connectivity, tears them down, and repeats this
process for 1 hour. The run time configurable with how long we want to
run the soak test.

This test helps in discoverying race condition issues, compatiblity
issues with underlying AMI.

* Fix for make check.

* Merge master to release-1.18 for v1.18.1 release (#2882)

* Mount /run/xtables.lock as FileOrCreate (#2841)

Otherwise, if the file doesn't already exist on the host at startup, it will be created as a directory. This breaks (among other things) `kube-proxy`, which leads to the AWS CNI not being able to reach the API-server, which leads to the node being stuck in `NotReady` state.
