Just do nothing.  Client sessions are not reused unless you explicitly
arrange for reuse of a session by calling SSL_set_session() before
SSL_connect().  If you're trying to avoid wasting memory on storing
client-side sessions that you'll never reuse then this may help:

   SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(client_ctx, SSL_SESS_CACHE_OFF);

but note this is also the default state, so is also not needed unless
some other code has explicitly enabled client-side caching of sessions.

Only the server-side cache is enabled by default.
