Subject: [PATCH] qla2xxx: remove redundant check on sess being non-null

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

All error paths to label out_term2 result in sess being null, so the
check for sess being non-null and the call to put_sess is dead code
and can therefore be removed.

Detected with CoverityScan, CID#1420664 ("Logically dead code")
