[PATCH v3] submodule: correct remote name with fetch

From

The code fetches the submodules remote based on the superproject remote name instead of the submodule remote name[1].

Instead of grabbing the default remote of the superproject repository, ask the default remote of the submodule we are going to run 'git fetch' in.
