Close DB connections once forked processes have completed (LTM 2.4)#470
Conversation
When running the SSOTSyncNetworkData job with 10 devices, the DB connection count would increment by 20, which meant there were two places the code was forking. The first was with the Nornir calling netmiko_send_commands, and the second was with the CommandGetterProcessor in the Nornir setup. Wrapping both of these with the connections.close_call() would close those 20 db connections (10 in one and 10 in the other) after they were finished without breaking the job.

Closes: #366
What's Changed
This is the LTM fix for #366.
When running the SSOTSyncNetworkData job with 10 devices, the DB connection count would increment by 20, which meant there were two places the code was forking. The first was with the Nornir calling netmiko_send_commands, and the second was with the CommandGetterProcessor in the Nornir setup. Wrapping both of these with the connections.close_call() would close those 20 db connections (10 in one and 10 in the other) after they were finished without breaking the job.
This resolves the issue for both Jobs, as they use the same underlying netmiko_send_commands and CommandGetterProcessor.
