Description

1. The changes introduced in PR: https://github.com/apache/ozone/pull/5391 involve reconstructing the hierarchical cluster tree object that represents the network topology on the Ozone Manager side.
2. Under the NetworkTopology class, various operations employ the `==`/`!=` operator for comparison.
3. However, this comparator needs to be modified to utilize the InnerNode#equals method instead. This adjustment is required as certain use cases, as described in (1), involve object reconstruction necessitating custom equality comparisons based on individual object attributes.
