dependency on k8s.io/kubernetes cause build failure

My application is depending upon `github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators/pkg/gpu/nvidia/metrics`, and `k8s.io/kubernetes` is in its indirect dependencies. Because of it, `go build` command fails with the following messages.

```
go build
go: finding module for package github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators/pkg/gpu/nvidia/metrics
go: found github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators/pkg/gpu/nvidia/metrics in github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators v0.0.0-20201215190136-13a0dea71c2e
go: github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators@v0.0.0-20201215190136-13a0dea71c2e requires

k8s.io/api@v0.0.0: reading k8s.io/api/go.mod at revision v0.0.0: unknown revision v0.0.0
```

The issue is already reported here (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/90358) but hopefully someone can conduct the workaround introduced in the issue thread.
