[Bug] Duplicate --max-pods attribute passed to KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS

[guessi]

What were you trying to accomplish?

--max-pods for KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS should have exactly one but not two when MaxPodsPerNode is assigned.

What happened?

When MaxPodsPerNode is assigned, it would invoke makeMaxPodsScript with append()

eksctl/pkg/nodebootstrap/managed_al2.go

Lines 51 to 55 in c9afc42

	if ng.OverrideBootstrapCommand != nil {
	scripts = append(scripts, *ng.OverrideBootstrapCommand)
	} else if ng.MaxPodsPerNode != 0 {
	scripts = append(scripts, makeMaxPodsScript(ng.MaxPodsPerNode))
	}

However, the original KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS already have --max-pods flag set, after sed -i it would have two --max-pods flags assigned, which is confusing (although the actual result is okay),

eksctl/pkg/nodebootstrap/managed_al2.go

Lines 97 to 103 in c9afc42

	func makeMaxPodsScript(maxPods int) string {
	script := `#!/bin/sh
	set -ex
	`
	script += fmt.Sprintf(`sed -i 's/KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=$2/KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS="$2 --max-pods=%d"/' /etc/eks/bootstrap.sh`, maxPods)
	return script
	}

How to reproduce it?

Create Managed Node Group with MaxPodsPerNode set.

Logs

Actual result:

[root@ip-192-168-100-200 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/30-kubelet-extra-args.conf
[Service]
Environment='KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=... --max-pods=58 --max-pods=30' # <------------------- having double --max-pods passed.

Anything else we need to know?
