[Bug]: Latest relese does not work on Talos Linux because of incorrect version parsing

[finomen]

Describe the bug
Latest release fails to list gpus because it fails to process OS version:
{"level":"error","ts":1774112196.4380157,"msg":"Reconciler error","controller":"clusterpolicy-controller","object":{"name":"cluster-policy"},"namespace":"","name":"cluster-policy","reconcileID":"991b62e2-34f1-4844-9ed3-fe049d7a5c04","error":"failed to retrieve GPU node OS tag: error processing OS major version v1: strconv.Atoi: parsing "v1": invalid syntax"}

Annotations on node are the following:
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/system-os_release.ID": "talos",
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/system-os_release.VERSION_ID": "v1.12.6",

Operator 25.10.1 works fine. Likely, it was broken in 3fb6dd3

To Reproduce
Install on Talos linux

Expected behavior
OPerator works

Environment (please provide the following information):

• GPU Operator Version: 26.3.0
• OS: Talos 1.12.6
• Kernel Version: 6.18.18-talos
• Container Runtime Version: 2.1.6
• Kubernetes Distro and Version: v1.34.0

Thanks @finomen for filing this bug. Does the following image works fine for you? I've provided sample values.yaml change to pull this fix until we release a newer patched version.

operator:
  repository: ghcr.io/nvidia
  image: gpu-operator
