Sometimes two correlated exception traces are observed in
the server log for the Neutron Server backed by NSX:
RequestTimeout (The nsx request has timed out) and
OperationalError (Lock wait timeout exceeded). This is
generally described by Guru Salvatore Orlando as the,
and I quote, the "infamous eventlet-mysql deadlock".
This patch tries to address the issue by adding a
cooperative yield in the nsx client code (it’s a good idea
to call sleep(0) occasionally in any case) and also by
avoiding the unnecessary spawning of another Greenthread
within a call that is already executed in Greenthred
itself.
