## Bug Reporting

When using the Linode CCM in K8S clusters and deleting the underlying cluster while not deleting the `Service` leaves a stable NB in the Linode account.

### Expected Behavior

Explore having some kind of finalization mechanism to delete the NB when the cluster is being deleted

### Actual Behavior

Stale NBs are left in place

### Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a K8S cluster with the linode-ccm installed on it
1. Provision a Service of type LoadBalancer
1. Delete the control plane and nodes of the cluster

### Environment Specifications

This happens for KPP clusters but also was reported by externally facing customers who are not using KPP

#### Additional Notes

I'm not really sure we can address this in the linode-ccm and may need to address it at a platform level but wanted to have this logged and tracked somewhere

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a Linode CCM Kubernetes cluster, a Service of type LoadBalancer, and deletion of the control plane and nodes while retaining the Service. Trace whether cleanup belongs in the Linode CCM or at the platform level, and determine the appropriate finalization point. Done means the underlying NodeBalancer is removed when the cluster is deleted, or the ownership boundary is documented if the CCM cannot address it.
