Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade filebeat daemonsets in my kubernetes cluster from 7.5.0 to 7.8.0 to fix some bugs. While evaluating new version, I found an issue in the filebeat log.

```auto
    2020-07-09T11:15:26.303Z INFO log/input.go:152 Configured paths: [/var/lib/docker/containers/e6582c1fce29bbbd6debe0095f9b46f7f9bf60ab47cb1f8b13f6dda0fedcd1ae/*-json.log]

```

As you can see in the sample log above, 'Configured paths: ' log printed twice every time. Although I believe adding configured paths multiple times should be fine, I just wanted to make sure if there is anything bad.

Below is the upper parts (providers config) of filebeat.yaml

```auto
    apiVersion: v1
    data:
      filebeat.yml: |-
        filebeat.autodiscover:
          providers:
            - type: kubernetes
              host: ${NODE_NAME}
              include_annotations: ~
              include_labels: ~
              labels.dedot: true
              templates:
                - condition:
                    equals:
                      kubernetes.labels.logging_enabled: "true"
                  config:
                    - type: container
                      paths:
                        - "/var/lib/docker/containers/${data.kubernetes.container.id}/*-json.log"
                      scan_frequency: "3s" # default: 10s

```

Also, I've tested other versions. This issue only happens in 7.8.0 and it wasn't happened until 7.7.1.
