Creating a memory hogger pod (that should be evicted / OOM killed) instead of being safely handled by the node causes the node to become unreachable for >10m.  On the node, the kubelet appears to be running but can't heartbeat the apiserver.  Also, the node appears to think that the apiserver deleted all the pods (DELETE("api") in logs) which is not correct - no pods except the oomkilled one should be evicted / deleted.

Recreate

1. Create the attached kill-node.yaml on the cluster (oc create -f kill-node.yaml)
2. Wait 2-3 minutes while memory fills up on the worker

Expected:

1. memory-hog pod is oomkilled and/or evicted (either would be acceptable)
2. the node remains ready

Actual:

1. Node is tainted as unreachable, heartbeats stop, and it takes >10m for it to recover
2. After recovery, events are delivered

As part of fixing this, we need to add an e2e tests to the origin disruptive suite that triggers this (and add eviction tests, because this doesn't seem to evict anything).

Once this is fixed we need to test against 4.3 and 4.2 and backport if it happens - this can DoS a node.
