      I attempted to touch this area of code in WT-6640 but it's more complex than I thought. The problem is this:

      • If we get an error, we should hit API_END_RET_NOTFOUND_MAP and restore the old dhandle because we will still have a session.
      • Some of the session resources (like its txn) can be freed before failing meaning that we can error out, jump to API_END_RET_NOTFOUND_MAP and dereference null by trying to operate on the txn.
      • It may be helpful to look at how it worked before WT-6556 as this was where the original bug crept in.
