fix(container_node_pool): panic interface conversion on linux_node_config.sysctls

[modular-magician]

Fixes: #15847

• Add type assertion to extract empty values from linux_node_config.sysctls field
• Clean up existing test case to only pass single sysctls parameter to be changed
• Add test case to create a nodepool with empty linux_node_config.sysctls

Without the fix, the test case to create a nodepool with empty linux_node_config.sysctls will fail.
