v1.8.0-RC1

cherry-pick(probe): initialize labels before probe start (#664)

- earlier the blockdevice labels map was initialized in the customtag probe
which causes undeclared map, if the labels are used before using customtag probe.
Now the label initialization happens before the probes are run.

- chore(test): update unit test
