Why I did it
This dhclient call was added so that the 202505 image which does not have cid set to mac and 202506 which has explicit set for CID to mac has compatibility (DHCP server will only provide lease to same CIDs, but this WA which was added uses dhclient instead of systemd-networkd - and has no CID in the request)
The fix itself is present so that dhclient request does not take too long, since we have direct connectivity between DPU and switch, the request should finish within 5 seconds, unblocking all other systemd services and other daemons
