[ML] do not start stopping tasks on reassignment (#55315)

When a anomaly jobs, datafeeds, and analytics tasks are stopped, they enter an ephemeral state called `STOPPING`. 

If the node executing the task fails while this is occurring, they could be stuck in the limbo state of `STOPPING`. It is best to mark the tasks as completed if they get reassigned to a node.
