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
 #2  0x00007f38d7991762 in reds_handle_read_link_done () from /lib64/libspice-server.so.1

 #4  0x00007f38d7990c6a in reds_accept () from /lib64/libspice-server.so.1
 #5  0x00007f38dc0d2946 in qemu_iohandler_poll (pollfds=0x7f38dedce200, ret=755449965, ret at entry=1) at iohandler.c:143
 #6  0x00007f38dc0d6ea8 in main_loop_wait (nonblocking=<optimized out>) at main-loop.c:465
 #7  0x00007f38dbffd7c0 in main_loop () at vl.c:1988
 #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.
