KAFKA-2405 Don't kill the JVM on session establishment failure As noted in the JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2405 currently the KafkaHealthCheck causes the JVM to terminate in cases where session establishment with Zookeeper fails. I don't know if retrying (after a while) is a better way to fix this but at least, IMO, the session establishment failure shouldn't kill the JVM. This commit removes the `System.exit()` call.
