enable GracefulNodeShutdown

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

GracefulNodeShutdown was promoted to beta in K8s 1.21 less than a year ago.. this is the feature gate that we would like to have enabled. We’re still 2 major versions behind current (that being said it’s not in 4.9 that I can see either). Please open and RFE for this to be enabled.
