[kube] fixes duplicated session recordings in root and leaf clusters (#48740)

This PR addresses a bug in Kubernetes session recordings where both the root proxy and the leaf cluster's Kubernetes services were recording the same session, resulting in the session being available in both clusters.

This behavior was inconsistent with other protocols, where recordings of leaf resources are only accessible in leaf clusters. To maintain consistency, this PR removes session recordings on the root clusters.
