Description of problem: NTO in OCP 4.7 ships an old version of stalld. There have been significant improvements to the "stall daemon" which tries to prevent the *starvation* of operating system threads in a Linux system. The version currently shipped with NTO, for example, misses the RT throttling improvements and SIGTERM handling. Steps to Reproduce: 1. check the stalld version in a Tuned container (stalld -V) Actual results: v1.0 Expected results: v1.7 + script-based (throttlectl.sh) RT throttling Additional info: https://github.com/openshift/cluster-node-tuning-operator/pull/201
