Merge #15999: init: Remove dead code in LoadChainTip

fa86c8aec6 init: Remove dead code in LoadChainTip (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  `LoadChainTip` sets `::ChainActive()` based on `pcoinsTip`'s best block. `LoadChainTip` is never called when that block is null, so we can remove all code from within that method that is only executed when that block is null.

  Fixes #15967  Inconsistent locking behavior in LoadChainTip

    utACK fa86c8aec6. LoadChainTip isn't called currently when pcoinsTip best block is null due to this line:
