What type of PR is this?

/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

Previously, the event simply stated "Preempted in order to admit critical pod" without identifying which pod caused the preemption. This change appends the admitting pod's name to the message, making it easier to understand why a specific pod was evicted.

Which issue(s) this PR is related to:

Fixes #

Special notes for your reviewer:

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

Kubelet preemption events now include the name of the critical pod in the event message (e.g., "Preempted in order to admit critical pod: <pod-name>").

Hi @ajay-sainy. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
