Description
Users could type login.php by accident when trying to access their admin dashboard because wp-login.php is a known URL and shorthand, and either they don't remember or get it wrong.
Let's make that more friendly.
Right now WordPress treats it as a 404, and tries to redirect it to a valid permalink if it's available.
It'd be more user-friendly to automatically send to login page, or admin if logged in.

Good suggestion!
Your patch works fine as far as taking user to login page with
login.php.However, the problem I found (not in your code, it works perfectly fine) is WordPress takes me to login page even if I am already logged in! I should rather be on some other page but of course not on login page.
Added a proposed patch at #40768 to prevent this.
