Description
The master node is being notified multiple times that AuthVerifier configurations are being modified, while a slave node is starting up.

Note: This only happens when using a bundled instance, when the com.liferay.portal.security.auth.verifier module is deployed via LPKG.

Steps to Reproduce: Bundle + DE-8 fixpack

1. Configure two Liferay DXP bundles + DE-8 fixpack
2. Configure Multicast Clustering between the two nodes
3. Startup the first node in the cluster
4. Start a debugger for the first node
   1. Breakpoint on: Line 72
      1. Class: com/liferay/portal/security/auth/verifier/internal/module/BaseAuthVerifierPublisher.java
      2. Method: protected void modified(BundleContext bundleContext, Map<String, Object> properties)
      3. Line: deactivate();
   2. Sample Breakpoint: sample_breakpoint_settings.png
5. Make sure the 1st node is completed started
6. Startup the 2nd node
   1. Make sure to clear osgi/state folder if Node 2 is not a fresh instance
7. Notice the breakpoints
   1. Can add logging instead of suspending the call on breakpoint (at least in intellij)

Expected behavior: The master node is not being notified regarding AuthVerifier configurations being modified.
Actual behavior: The master node is being notified multiple times regarding AuthVerifier configurations being modified.

Steps to demonstrate that the issue is not reproducible when not deployed via lpkg

1. Continuing from the steps above
2. Shutdown Node 2
3. Find com.liferay.portal.security.auth.verifier-2.0.2.jar within osgi/marketplace/Liferay Foundation.lpkg
4. Copy com.liferay.portal.security.auth.verifier-2.0.2.jar to the osgi/marketplace/override folder
5. Startup the 2nd node
   1. Make sure to clear osgi/state folder if Node 2 is not a fresh instance

Actual behavior: The master node is not being notified regarding the AuthVerifier configurations being modified.
