 A user can continue to access wp-login.php after they are authenticated if
 they visit example.com/wp-login.php.

 Unless there is a reason why wp-login.php should be accessible if a user
 has already authenticated I propose we restrict access to stop a form
 being shown to them if they visit the page directly.
