Expired asset not updating

Problem/Motivation

When I expire an asset in the DAM, and I don't update any other metadata, the asset remains published on my Drupal site.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create and release an asset on the DAM, setting an expiration date in the future.
  2. In Drupal, use the asset so that it gets added to Drupal as a media entity.
  3. Expire the asset in the DAM by setting the expiration date to the current date.
  4. Run Drupal cron to sync assets.
    • The asset WILL be found in the list of assets needing updates
    • The asset will NOT report the updated expiration date and released_and_not_expired will still be true (API or caching layer bug?)
    • The asset will be added to the update queue
    • When the update queue runs, the updated expiration date value will be available, but the logic will exit before the asset is unpublished (this is the bug this ticket is describing)
  5. The asset is still published (the end result of the bug)

Note that if you update any other asset metadata, the correct expiration date will be available and the Drupal cron asset sync will immediately unpublish the asset.

Proposed resolution

Remove early/duplicative handling of the released_and_not_expired flag from MediaItemUpdater::processItem(). See attached patch.
