Do not free a session before calling the remove_session_cb

If the remove_session_cb accesses the session's data (for instance,
via SSL_SESSION_get_protocol_version), a potential use after free
can occur. For this, consider the following scenario when adding
a new session via SSL_CTX_add_session:

- The session cache is full
  (SSL_CTX_sess_number(ctx) > SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size(ctx))
- Only the session cache has a reference to ctx->session_cache_tail
  (that is, ctx->session_cache_tail->references == 1)

Since the cache is full, remove_session_lock is called to remove
ctx->session_cache_tail from the cache. That is, it
SSL_SESSION_free()s the session, which free()s the data. Afterwards,
the free()d session is passed to the remove_session_cb. If the callback
accesses the session's data, we have a use after free.

The free before calling the callback behavior was introduced in
commit e4612d02

 ("Remove sessions
from external cache, even if internal cache not used.").
