I think this needs to be reverted.
I think the problem this commit is trying to solve can only occur if two
separate sessions end up with the same ID. If that happens we have much
bigger issues.
Also, the PersistentManager has to remove by ID. It can't remove by
identity since as a session restored from the store will be a different
instance every time it is restored.

Remove sessions from the manager map by instance identity
ManagerBase.remove(Session, boolean) removed the map entry keyed by the
session ID regardless of which instance the map currently held. A stale
copy of a session, such as one deserialized from a Store, could there-
fore evict a different, live instance that had the same ID, losing it
without any of its own state being expired.
Use the two argument ConcurrentHashMap removal so the entry is only
removed when the map still holds the session instance passed in.
