Similar to 1879849 (16.2 bug)

OSP16.1 is not affected (phase2 job, manual deployment), Octavia works correctly. The issue occurs only in the DFG jobs.

The DFG jobs are patching the overcloud images before deploying: the "--images-update yes" option is passed to "infrared tripleo-undercloud".
This extra step adds some custom yum repositories in the overcloud, so the package versions can differ from a standard deployment (such as the phase2 job).

In our case, it seems that a new podman release fixed some security issues (1.6.4-19.module+el8.2.0+10175+e12b0910 vs 1.6.4-17.module+el8.2.0+9347+d4fa9cbb) and those new constraints break the driver-agent container's volumes.

The fix already exists in 16.2 and needs to be backported to 16.1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1879849
Because the issue occurs only when installing podman from a custom repo, I believe that the backport can wait until 16.1.5.
