Remove the obsolete misleading comment and code related to it.

The comment "The following should not return 1, otherwise, things
are very strange" is from the very first commit of OpenSSL. The
really meaning of the comment is if the identical session can be
found from internal cache after calling get_session_cb but not
found before calling get_session_cb, it is just strange.

The value 1 was originated from the old doc of SSLeay, reversed
from the actual return value of SSL_CTX_add_session().

Anyway either return value of SSL_CTX_add_session() should not
interrupt the session resumption process. So the checking of
return value of SSL_CTX_add_session() is not necessary.
