Fix Gitaly auto-detection caching

If `GitalyClient#can_use_disk?` returned `false`, it was never cached
properly and led to excessive number of Gitaly calls. Instead of using
`cached_value.present?`, we need to check `cached_value.nil?`.

Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/64802
