Not checking this can cause a null deref. Since there is already a null check at the bottom of the function with `NewRSA()`.

Why does this not throw an exception like the other return {}; sites?

I was confused about the exception handling. Line 438 with the EVPKeyPointer::NewRSA also does not do any exception throwing. Yet when I forced this rsa check to fail at this line during testing I did get an exception when running some tests using ./tools/test.py.

NewRSA().Note: this was found by a static-dynamic analyser I'm developing.
