Subject: [PATCH][V2] scsi: qla2xxx: remove redundant null check on pointer sess

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

The null check on pointer sess and the subsequent call is redundant
as sess is null on all the the paths that lead to the out_term2 label.
Hence the null check and the call can be removed.  Also remove the
redundant setting of sess to NULL as this is not required now.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1420663 ("Logically dead code")

V2: Remove the redundant settings of sess to NULL, thanks to
Dan Carpenter for spotting this.
