Smart search, face detection, etc. jobs don't respect ML disabled status

[LoveShakeDev]

I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

• Yes

The bug

Per the ML settings:

If disabled, all ML features will be disabled regardless of the below settings.

I had ML disabled, but the enabled toggles within that section were still affecting jobs.

Reproduction steps

1. Disable machine learning but leave the inner switches enabled
2. Upload enough new images with low enough job concurrency that thumbnail/metadata jobs don't complete quickly
3. Eventually, even though the jobs say they are disabled, smart search and facial recognition will queue up items. You can verify this by looking at the postgres database tables afterward.

Workaround: Re-enable ML, disable inner settings, disable ML, save. The jobs still seemingly run, but nothing is put into the database.

The job queue is still picking up the task, but then it will check if machine learning is disabled and then terminate the task
