RedisReactiveHealthIndicator blocks on error by calling close, which is not supported in thread reactor-http-epoll

While running a Spring Cloud Gateway application with Redis as session store, I observed the stack trace above. The cause is a blocking call in: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/actuate/redis/RedisReactiveHealthIndicator.java#L49

There is a Mono<Void> closeLater(); https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-redis/blob/master/src/main/java/org/springframework/data/redis/connection/ReactiveRedisConnection.java#L68 which could be called instead.

There's also another issue here: Connection creation is blocking if connection sharing is disabled. From that perspective, either you allocate a connection on subscribeOn(Schedulers.parallel()) or you obtain the connection in afterPropertiesSet().

Closing in favour of #16756.
