Fix for issue #353 (handle change in ssh-keygen behaviour)

Prior to openssh 6.4, ssh-keygen -F returned 0 (and no output) when no
host was found. After then, it instead returned 1 and no output. This
revised code behaves correctly with either behaviour. There is
currently no other code path that results in exit(1) and no output.
