kubernetes: Define sysctl inotify.max_user_instances to 8192

Guillaume Samson requested to merge kubernetes_inotify_max into production

The service user@0.service was in failed state on node metal01 and node metal02:

Dec 12 18:48:23 rancher-node-metal01 systemd[1]: Starting User Manager for UID 0...

Dec 12 18:48:23 rancher-node-metal01 systemd[1]: Failed to start User Manager for UID 0.

This modification will define the kernel parameter fs.inotify.max_user_instances to 8192.
