[PATCH net-next 1/2] l2tp: remove useless duplicate session detection in l2tp_netlink

[Guillaume Nault]

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.
