[12_2_X backport] fix in bc->e filter

[swagata87]

PR description:

See details in PR description of #37869
This is an exact backport of 37869.
The backport is being made following a discussion in today's PPD meeting, during this talk:
https://indico.cern.ch/event/1158486/#30-retraining-of-pf-electron-i
The plan is that once this backport PR is merged and a new 12_2_X release is made, EGM will request QCD b/c->e samples again, in 12_2_X. With those samples, we will check the performance of DNN-based PF ID.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_12_2_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_12_5_X is complete. This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @perrotta, @dpiparo, @qliphy (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
