[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/3] stream-ssl: Only cache SSL sessions after they shut down.

A cached SSL session may only be used for new connections after the initial
connection has shut down.  As far as I can tell, nothing in the OpenSSL
documentation actually comes out and says this, but it is implied by
various examples found around the web and doing it this way makes caching
work much more reliably in my testing.

Bug #4448.
