[Bug]: Salt-SSH syncs internal modules as extmods

[lkubb]

What happened?

3007.10+ and 3006.18+ sync all internal modules as external ones due to #68497. This was mentioned in #68570 (comment). This is already fixed in 3008.

I verified it on 3007.14. After running salt-ssh on a target, listing the tmpdir's running_data/var/cache/salt/extmods/modules yields:
