What type of PR is this?

What this PR does / why we need it:
The metrics tests, memory manager first and foremost, expect a controlled environment on which they run.
This is why they are labeled Serial. The key factor here is the predictability: the test expect
to be in full control of the node state; if any other actor mutates the node state, that makes for a almost guaranteed
false negative.
To reduce the chance to flake, we add an extra check before to run the actual tests: detect pods pending deletion, and
wait for them to be gone.
