Fix for detach volume when node is not present/ powered off
Fixes#33061
When a vm is reported as no longer present in cloud provider and is deleted by node controller, there are no attempts to detach respective volumes. For example, if a VM is powered off or paused, and pods are migrated to other nodes. In the case of vSphere, the VM cannot be started again because the VM still holds mount points to volumes that are now mounted to other VMs.
In order to re-join this node again, you will have to manually detach these volumes from the powered off vm before starting it.
The current fix will make sure the mount points are deleted when the VM is powered off. Since all the mount points are deleted, the VM can be powered on again.
This is a workaround proposal only. I still don't see the kubernetes issuing a detach request to the vsphere cloud provider which should be the case. (Details in original issue #33061 )
