[Security KB] Fix setup KB (elastic#201175)

## Summary

Fix an issue with auto-recovery of Knowledge Base setup.

When the KB setup was initialized on an undersized cluster, the model
failed to deploy correctly. This resulted in the KB ending up in a
broken state, repeatedly displaying the Setup KB button.
