Geo LFS clone unnecessary proxying to the primary

Sampath Ranasinghe requested to merge sranasinghe-upgrade-note-geo-lfs-bug into master

What does this MR do and why?

A bug resulted in LFS clone requests against a secondary Geo site always being proxied to the primary site. This creates additional load on the primary site and also results in longer clone times for users of the secondary site.

We enabled proxying by default in GitLab 15.1.

Versions impacted: 15.1 - 16.2 (Includes all minor releases) Version containing fix: 16.3
