The podresources e2e tests want to exercise the case on which a device
plugin doesn't report topology affinity. The only known device plugin
which had this requirement and didn't depend on specialized hardware
was the kubevirt device plugin, which was however deprecated after
we started using it.
So the e2e tests are now broken, and in any case they can't depend on
unmaintained and liable to be obsolete code.
To unblock the state and preserve some e2e signal, we switch to the
sample device plugin, which is a stub implementation and which is
managed in-tree, so we can maintain it and ensure it fits the e2e test
usecase.
This is however a regression, because e2e tests should try their hardest
to use real devices and avoid any mocking or faking.
The upside is that using a OS-neutral device plugin for the tests enables
us to run on all the supported platform (windows!) so this could allow
us to transition these tests to conformance.
