This can fail in fips mode for example. If we ignore the failure, we'll get
a crash:

 #0  0x00007f38d63728a0 in BN_num_bits () from /lib64/libcrypto.so.10
 #1  0x00007f38d639661d in RSA_size () from /lib64/libcrypto.so.10

 #8  main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>) at vl.c:4357

This commit will cause the client connection to fail but qemu won't
segfault.
