As was pointed out in the bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65517#comment186483

ssh errors with:
kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer

sshd logs the error:
fatal: recv_rexec_state: buffer error: incomplete message

It's pretty plausible that this commit is simply incompatible with the
previous version of sshd, therefore it could not reexec:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/c2bd7f74b0e0f3a3ee9d19ac549e6ba89013abaf

So this is "expected" behavior. There's no way to upgrade this without
triggering the need for a restart. All consumers of openssh on any
operating system will need to restart sshd, possibly via maintenance
scripts provided by the distro.
