Fix: relayd: `!vsession->current_trace_chunk` assertion failed

Observed issue
==============

When performing:

  #!/bin/bash

  lttng create py_syscalls --live

  lttng enable-event -u -a
  lttng enable-event -k -a

  lttng start

  babeltrace2 -i lttng-live net://localhost/host/raton/py_syscalls

The relay daemon hits this assertion:

Cause
=====

This assert appears to be entirely wrong.

It checks that the "viewer session" has a NULL current trace chunk when
attaching a session to a viewer session, but in the case where a viewer
session has multiple sessions (e.g. with kernel and ust tracing
combined), we are attaching each session individually to the viewer
session, and we set the current trace chunk of the viewer session when
we attach the first session to it.

So it is expected to be non-NULL when attaching the second session.

Solution
========

Remove the assertion.

Known limitations
=================

None.
