Without this flag the components by default serve (e.g. /metrics) insecurely on the default node interface (controlled by --address). Users that wish to override this behavior and enable insecure serving can pass a custom --port=X via kubeadm's "extraArgs"...

- Fix a bug that Pods with topologySpreadConstraints get scheduled to nodes without required labels. ([#95883](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95883), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling]
