There is a fair amount of code that defers modifying the database when a
transaction cannot be created (because there is already one outstanding).
This code tends to assume that the main loop will wake up again when it
becomes possible again to modify the database, but the actual ovsdb_id_loop
implementation only did this if the database had changed.  This is too
conservative a policy and may account for some failures I've seen in tests.
