The test was flaky because it checked /proc/schedstat immediately after pod startup, before kubelet had time to reconcile system pod cpusets. This race window caused intermittent failures where load balancing appeared still enabled on the Guaranteed pod's CPUs.

On cgroupv1 systems, disabling CPU load balancing requires ALL cgroups that intersect with a CPU to have sched_load_balance=0.
