Steps to Reproduce Issue

1. Remove existing known_host file: C:\Users\vagrant\.ssh\known_hosts
2. Run highstate: vagrant provision or C:\salt\salt-call.bat state.highstate --retcode-passthrough --local --log-level=trace

The full trace level logs only show the following:

[DEBUG   ] Could not LazyLoad ssh_known_hosts.present: 'ssh_known_hosts.present' is not available.
[ERROR   ] State 'ssh_known_hosts.present' was not found in SLS 'known_host'
Reason: 'ssh_known_hosts.present' is not available.
