Although we were stopping the connection thread, we never actually
close the Idl's connection to ovsdb-server. This is especially
noticeable in neutron's "short-lived" connections for ensuring the
creation of the pg_drop Port_Group which happen pre-fork and so
the sockets are getting cloned after the fork since they are still
open.
