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.
