ClassNotFoundException for Kafka StatefulSet

[liwang0513]

We have a test environment on GKE v1.7.8. Kafka server pods keep failing with exception:

org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.metricsreporter.CruiseControlMetricsReporter ClassNotFoundException exception occurred
	at org.apache.kafka.common.config.AbstractConfig.getConfiguredInstances(AbstractConfig.java:288)

This also leads to the crash of cruise-control and kafka-offset deployments.
