Fix: sessiond: previously created channel cannot be enabled

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

A previously created channel cannot be enabled back once a session is
started.

Cause
=====

The check validating that the session was started is to early in the
`cmd_enable_channel` function.

Solution
========

Move the check at the creation code path when the channel is not found.

Known drawbacks
=========

None.
