Because sessions are global. If something flushes the session not via
our space (like /dev/tpm0) then our only indication will be a load
failure.

Yes, it seems that a session that doesn't exist (because it's been
flushed) then it returns TPM_RC_REFERNCE_H0, but if the context has a
sequence mismatch (because it's been flushed and reloaded) then we get
TPM_RC_HANDLE.
