Shutdown from redis client takes a long time

[daveah]

If we run a redis-server from the shell with no persistence (in this case redis-7.2.3):

redis-server --save "" --appendonly no --loglevel verbose

Then, on the same machine hop into a python shell and run (redis-py 6.2.0):

from redis import Redis
redis.shutdown()

The redis server itself instantly exits, but the redis.shutdown() command does not return for about 5 seconds. It appears that the redis client is waiting for some form of network timeout before returning.
This is unaffected by any combination of the parameters (nosave, now, force).

This may be a regression from earlier versions, but we are not entirely sure.

Hi @daveah, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will have a look at this soon.
