When we receive an encrypted to device, the SDK has to try to decrypt with all the known endToEnd olm session with the sender, until it founds one working.
According to some android logs, we can see as much as 300 olm session with the same device. This is not expected and probably due to some race issue but none the less currently we are trying to decrypt with all of them but in the wrong order, leading to lot of unnecessary trials. By using proper order we will now decrypt to devices faster.
This PR is not adressing the proliferation of olm session. This PR should have adressed this, and the existing logs are probably from older sessions.
