Ctr image import --local=false doesn't create corresponding image

[elpdt852]

Description

When using ctr image import --local=false to depend on the newer transfer service which uses the unpacker under the hood, it successfully transfers the image into the content store but it is missing a client.ImageService().Create(...) call. I assume this is the client's responsibility and not pkg/transfer/local/import.go?

Without this step, kubernetes won't be able to discover the image even though it is visible with ctr image ls or nerdctl image ls.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. ctr image import --local=false ./oci.tar
2. Run image via CRI interface, e.g. crictl or kubernetes.
3. Error in containerd log failed to resolve image ... here: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/v1.7.2/pkg/cri/server/container_create.go#L96-L99
