ee91d179 introduced a slightly different
tracking system for detecting sessions. Instead of completely disabling the
session system for AJAX and cron requests, it detects if the session is new
or not based on the session_id() and existing data in the session backend.

However, the patch did not correctly determine if a session was new.
Instead, it flagged all session as existing. This patch fixes the detection
of existing session data so that AJAX and cron requests can operate without
writing session data to the backend.
