packet: Always mount node local storage on /mnt/
The rkt pod is exposed with /mnt/ volume[1] and in this PR: https://github.com/kinvolk/lokomotive-kubernetes/pull/48/files#diff-b6c7caf796cd86bdcdd936319b1793a1R152 the location where the RAID 0 array is mounted was changed from `/mnt` to `/mnt/<some-dir>`. This breaks using local volumes in pods, as it seems the mount is not visible for the rkt container or the kubelet running in rkt. The investigation of the root cause of this issue, to understand why mounts inside mnt (like in `/mnt/node-local-storage`) can't be used by pods currently and what needs to be changed for that, is left as a for future patches and issue #73 was created to investigate this. This patch just makes the mount location back to `/mnt` for all the cases (`setup_raid`, `setup_raid_*`) so it works on all cases. However, this imposes one limitation: `setup_raid_hdd` and `setup_raid_ssd` are mutually exclusive now. This limitation is not limiting something that was working in master, in fact `setup_raid_hdd` and `setup_raid_ssd` (when `setup_raid_ssd_fs` is set) were completely broken since they were merged and pods never wrote to those volumes, for the very same reason issue #73 states: mounts insde `/mnt` are not visible to pods. Therefore, this patches fixes node local storage while making those options exclusive (only one can be set), and this is not a big problem as those options never really worked. Some alternative fixes were considered, like changing the path that is exposed to rkt container to be /mnt/node-local-storage or /mnt/node-hdd-local-storage, according to what option was used (setup_raid, setup_raid_hdd, and exposing both if both are set), but that was messy without any good reason (it is better to tackle #73 before doing something that ofuscated). So, we decided for this, more simpler, approach. This patch is just a minimal fix, "a revert" to mount in `/mnt/` again, to make this work again on master. As a side effect of this PR, too, another issue to reconsider if we need so many `setup_raid_*` flags was created (#74) and to even consider a totally different approach than the current bash script before it gets out of control: #75 [1]: https://github.com/kinvolk/lokomotive-kubernetes/blob/d59d071a451f45ac61c2524b94a146a6cde60401/packet/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/workers/cl/worker.yaml.tmpl#L65-L66
