rke: cri_dockerd as included in rke-tools has extremely bad performance

RKE version: 1.3.11 - v1.23.6

Docker version: (docker version, docker info preferred) 20.10

Operating system and kernel: (cat /etc/os-release, uname -r preferred) Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Type/provider of hosts: (VirtualBox/Bare-metal/AWS/GCE/DO) Azure

cluster.yml file:

  rke_config {
    kubernetes_version = var.k8version
    ignore_docker_version = false
    enable_cri_dockerd = true
    }
    network {
      plugin = "flannel"
    }

Steps to Reproduce: Set enable_cri_dockerd will lead to constant, near 100% CPU consumption from an empty cluster on a 4vCPU VM (Standard_D4s_v3)

Results: With 1.24 approaching fast, we should provide a working option for the installed base that wants to continue with RKE1 and Docker.
