kind: Kubelet: invalid configuration: cgroup-root ["kubelet"] doesn't exist

What happened:

Running a node-image built with kind 92f54895, in github actions, using kind 0.9.0 makes kubelet fail to start with the following error:

Dec 07 19:16:44 ovn-control-plane kubelet[994]: F1207 19:16:44.170173 994 server.go:269] failed to run Kubelet: invalid configuration: cgroup-root [“kubelet”] doesn’t exist Dec 07 19:16:44 ovn-control-plane kubelet[994]: goroutine 1 [running]:

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

I’ve tried to reproduced it locally without success:

./kind.v0.9.0 create cluster --image aojea/kindnode:kind92f54895_k8se1c617a88ec

The failing job with the errors and logs is here https://github.com/aojea/ovn-kubernetes/runs/1512853588?check_suite_focus=true

Bear in mind that github actions have its own docker and we had issues with KIND running there before
