fixes issue in eos shared module for earlier versions of EOS (#17980)

Earlier versions of EOS that do not support config sessions would
create an exception.  This fix will now check if the device supports
sessions and if it doesn't, it will fall back to not using sessions
(cherry picked from commit 3badb212fb)
