- Fixed a regression since 1.24 in the scheduling framework when overriding MultiPoint plugins (e.g. default plugins).
  The incorrect loop logic might lead to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which is unexpected. ([#122368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122368), [@caohe](https://github.com/caohe)) [SIG Scheduling]
