Description of problem:
On OCP 3.11, we have an issue on nodes turns NotReady due to a PLEG not Healthy whith CRIO-O, when deleating a pod, CRIO don't report anymore the status to the kubelet, the issue can be visible when we define a terminationGracePeriod in the deploymentconfig that exceed the PLEG timeout defined here:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/kubelet/pleg/generic.go?fbclid=IwAR2jPIs9w38V1qwBhRucJ6SbP6XJVD0qUTpcMFUMcnjOlzoNbB7LKq4TYK0#L83

The pleg tries to update the status of the pod, but asking the status of the not stopped container encounters a lock in crio and doesn't get any reply before the end of the grace period. So the pleg is blocked for the grace period of the pod and trigger the NotReady status.

We have this issue visible on multiple deployment on pods containing Jboss containers, jboss containers took too long to stop and thus we need to implement the terminationGracePeriod to allow the jboss pod to terminate correctly.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- openshift v3.11.248 / kubernetes v1.11.0+d4cacc0
- crio version 1.11.16-0.11.dev.rhaos3.11.gitd6a416d.el7-dev

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a pod with 2 containers:
~~~
cat pod.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: dummy
  labels:
    app: dummy
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
        app: dummy
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: dummy
    spec:
      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 300
      containers:
        - name: rootcontainer1
          image: rhel:latest
          command : ["sleep"]
          args: ["30000"]
          imagePullPolicy: "IfNotPresent"
        - name: rootcontainer3
          image: rhel:latest
          command : ["sleep"]
          args: ["60"]
          imagePullPolicy: "IfNotPresent"
~~~

2. kill the containers 
3. Pleg truns unhealthy and we get the Node NotReady state on the node

Actual results:

Node not ready

Expected results:

Node still ready and the pods terminate correctly
