Ensure to clear the session object in case the libssh2 initialization fails. It could be argued that the libssh2 error function should be called to get a proper error message in this case. But since the only error path in libssh2_knownhost_init() is memory a allocation failure it's safest to avoid since the libssh2 error handling allocates memory.
