Trivially-correct avoidance of the invalid-index pointer read... and 
quite likely this is what the compiler does as well "this is only needed
after the if(), so let's do that one first", or suchabouts.  Where this
is now, we know i is TM_ACTIVE (0) or TM_UNTRUSTED (1), and so ->session[i]
is valid.

Tested the master patch on the t_server testbed, 2.6 and 2.5 just on the
clients (which is arguably not excercising this code very heavily).

Your patch has been applied to the master, release/2.6 and release/2.5 branch.

Since this is arguably a bug, but has been shown to have no adverse effects,
and everything older has been out of support for a long time, I decided to
be lazy and not backport to 2.4, 2.3, 2.2 and 2.1...
