bitbake: fetch2: Fix LFS object checkout in submodules

Skipping smudging prevents the LFS objects from replacing their
placeholder files when `git submodule update` actually checks out the
target revision in the submodule. Smudging cannot happen earlier as the
clone stored in `.git/modules` is bare.

This should be fine as long as all LFS objects are available in the
download cache (which they are after the other fixes are applied).
