- Graduating `pending_pods`, `preemption_attempts_total`, `preemption_victims` and `schedule_attempts_total` metrics to stable. Also `e2e_scheduling_duration_seconds` is renamed to `scheduling_attempt_duration_seconds` and the latter is graduated to stable. (#105941, @rezakrimi) [SIG Instrumentation, Scheduling and Testing]

- Fixed a regression introduced in 1.22.4 where Azure load balancers were not kept up to date with the state of cluster nodes.
