Package name and purpose
Flatcar comes with an old open-iscsi tools version iscsid version 2.0-873, where we are not able to configure iscsid to only perform manual scans. This is needed by kubernetes iscsi driver:
kubernetes/kubernetes#90985

Also, automatic scans can cause cpu lockups due to iscsi process hangs when the devices map is too big.

Trying to modify node.session.scan gives the following error

iscsiadm: Cannot modify node.session.scan. Invalid param name.

Upgrading to a later version is necessary for kube users that use iscsi backed pvcs.

Impact of adding this package to the Flatcar OS image
This is just for a version bump so it shouldn't have a considerable impact on the Flatcar OS image

Benefits of adding this package to the Flatcar OS image
Needed when working with iscsi pvcs on kuberentes clusters.
