Status in OpenStack Security Notes:

Bug description:
This bug is very similar to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394370
Steps to reproduce:
1) Setup Horizon to use db as session engine (using this doc: http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/dashboard-session-database.html). I've used MySQL.
2) Run 'for i in {1..100}; do curl -b "sessionid=aaaaa;" http://HORIZON__IP/auth/login/ &> /dev/null; done' from your terminal.
I've got 100 rows in django_session after this.
I've used devstack installation just with updated master branch.
