Describe the bug:

Config.yaml:

$ sudo cat /etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml
token: xxxx
protect-kernel-defaults: true

disable-helm-controller: true
disable-network-policy: true

selinux: true

Testing Steps to Reproduce:

1. Copy config.yaml

$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/rancher/k3s && sudo cp config.yaml /etc/rancher/k3s

2. Install k3s

$ curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sudo INSTALL_K3S_VERSION='v1.26.11+k3s2' sh -s - server

3. Get api resources and grep for helm values. There should be none.

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/kubectl --kubeconfig /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml api-resources | grep helm

Replication Results:

$ k3s -v
k3s version v1.26.10+k3s1 (a6687b59)
go version go1.20.10

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/kubectl --kubeconfig /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml api-resources | grep helm
helmchartconfigs                               helm.cattle.io/v1                      true         HelmChartConfig
helmcharts                                     helm.cattle.io/v1                      true         HelmChart

Validation Results:

$ k3s -v
k3s version v1.26.11+k3s2 (66be20f1)
go version go1.20.11

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/kubectl --kubeconfig /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml api-resources | grep helm
