 When I am already logged in I should not be redirected to Login page if I
 type in `mysite.com/login`. Rather WordPress should be able to decide
 which page I should be on in this situation.

 Being redirected to Login page even when I am already logged in must be
 treated as a bug. The reason is I am being able to login as a different
 user by going to login page directly when I am already logged in!

 For example if I am already logged in as admin and type in
 `mysite.com/login` I should directly be taken to `wp-admin`. Same decision
 could be taken for different user privileges like if I am logged in as a
 subscriber or as a participant then I might land on site's home page.

 Inspired from [#40762] I have modified the decider so that WordPress can
 take this decision itself and stop landing logged in users to login page.
