fix: Flush pool as late as possible during schema cache reloading

DISCLAIMER:
This commit was authored entirely by a human without the assistance of LLMs.

retryingSchemaCacheLoad flushes the pool upon every retry before it starts reloading the schema. This is too early as schema reloading might take some time during which new connections might be acquired. The consequence is that:
* upon successful schema cache reload we might have some connections created with the old schema cache
* we close connections upon each retry and under load we will keep closing and re-opening connections until schema cache load succeeds

This change is to make sure we flush the pool only after successful schema cache querying but before loading (so that connections acquired during loading wait for it and do not interfere with timing the loading process).
