The job should always run when `if` is `always()` (#29464)

Fix #27906

According to GitHub's
[documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idneeds),
a job should always run when its `if` is `always()`

> If you would like a job to run even if a job it is dependent on did
not succeed, use the `always()` conditional expression in
`jobs.<job_id>.if`.
