- Certain fields on  Service objects will be automatically cleared when changing the service's `type` to a mode that does not need those fields.  For example, changing from type=LoadBalancer to type=ClusterIP will clear the NodePort assignments, rather than forcing the user to clear them.

- kubeadm: Added better handling of errors during unmount when calling `kubeadm reset`. When failing to unmount directories under `/var/run/kubelet`, kubeadm will now throw an error instead of showing a warning and continuing to clean up said directory. In such situations, it is better for you to inspect the problem and resolve it manually. Then, you can call `kubeadm reset` again to complete the cleanup.
