[PATCH 4.9 32/64] l2tp: remove useless duplicate session detection in l2tp_netlink

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit af87ae465abdc070de0dc35d6c6a9e7a8cd82987 upstream.

There's no point in checking for duplicate sessions at the beginning of
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(); the ->session_create() callbacks already
return -EEXIST when the session already exists.

Furthermore, even if l2tp_session_find() returns NULL, a new session
might be created right after the test. So relying on ->session_create()
to avoid duplicate session is the only sane behaviour.
