Subject: [PATCH] can: j1939: Remove unnecessary WARN_ON_ONCE in j1939_sk_queue_activate_next_locked()

The purpose of WARN_ON_ONCE if the session with the same parameters
has already been activated and is currently in active_session_list is
not very clear. Is this warning implemented to indicate that userspace
is doing something wrong?

As far as I can see, there are two lists: active_session_list (which
is for the whole device) and sk_session_queue (which is unique for
each j1939_sock), and the situation when we have two sessions with
the same type, addresses and destinations in two different
sk_session_queues (owned by two different sockets) is actually highly
probable - one is active and the other is willing to become active
but the j1939_session_activate() does not let that happen. It is
correct behaviour as I assume.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
