LSP linters ignore ale_linters configuration

What went wrong

LSP linters seem to ignore g:ale_linters configuration.

Reproducing the bug

1. Install and configure two language servers (e.g. eclipselsp and javalsp for java files). Ensure both linters work properly.
2. Configure g:ale_linters with only one of the language servers (e.g. eclipselsp).
3. Edit a java file.
4. Inspect ALEInfo and see that ALE starts both language servers instead of the one set in g:ale_linters.

:ALEInfo

 Current Filetype: java
Available Linters: ['android', 'checkstyle', 'cspell', 'eclipselsp', 'javac', 'javalsp', 'pmd']
  Enabled Linters: ['eclipselsp']

 Suggested Fixers:
  'google_java_format' - Fix Java files with google-java-format.
  'remove_trailing_lines' - Remove all blank lines at the end of a file.
  'trim_whitespace' - Remove all trailing whitespace characters at the end of every line.
  'uncrustify' - Fix C, C++, C#, ObjectiveC, ObjectiveC++, D, Java, Pawn, and VALA files with uncrustify.
