Comment:

 Closing this because #24920 is a better solution. SessionStore does not
 save information about private tabs on disk. It does rely on Android for
 saving some state, and there is an assumption Android only retains this
 information in memory as long as it's needed. I don't know if this
 assumption is correct (that it is only kept in memory, and not written to
 a cache on disk).
