text: Title: fix staticcheck failures
  Body: Many of our packages are failing [staticcheck], we should fix all of them. See previously https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/36858 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/90208 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/81657
  
  /help
  
  To fix these, take a look at [hack/.staticcheck_failures] for a list of currently failing packages.
  
  You can check a package by removing it from the list and running `make verify WHAT=staticcheck`.
  Once the package is no longer failing, please file a PR including the fixes and removing it from the list.
  
  Before filing your PR, you should run `hack/update-gofmt.sh` and `hack/update-bazel.sh` to auto format your code and update the build.
  
  I recommend keeping PRs scoped down in size for review, fix a package or set of closely related packages, or a certain class of failures, to make it easier for your reviewers to handle. 
  
  We don't need to fix all failures in one PR, but please avoid 100s of single character PRs, as it does cost time & resources to get each PR reviewed, tested, merged etc. :upside_down_face: 
  
  I can help review _some_ of these, but many of them will require other reviewers that own the relevant code.
  
  
  EDIT: I also don't recommend `/assign` ing to this one, many people are going to need to work on it and we want more people to join in.
  You can link to this issue in your PR and comment here that you're working on certain packages to help avoid duplication.
  EDIT2: Please do NOT put `Fixes #...` in your Pull Request, despite the template. That will close this PR. Instead put something like `Part of #92402`
  
  I think each of these own code that is currently failing:
  /sig testing
  /sig storage
  /sig api-machinery
  /sig architecture
  /sig cli
  /sig instrumentation
  /sig autoscaling
  /sig cloud-provider
