async cluster does not close

hi
the async version of cluster client does not close properly when calling aclose
In [1]: from redis.asyncio.cluster import RedisCluster
In [2]: rc = await RedisCluster(host="localhost", port=7000)
In [3]: await rc.set("a", "b")
Out[3]: True
In [4]: await rc.get("a")
Out[4]: b'b'
In [5]: await rc.aclose()
In [6]: await rc.set("a", "c")
Out[6]: True
In [7]: await rc.get("a")
Out[7]: b'c'as you can see, even after aclose is called, you can still call operations
this is not the case with sync client
In [8]: from redis.cluster import RedisCluster
In [9]: rc = RedisCluster(host="localhost", port=7000)
In [10]: rc.set("a", "b")
Out[10]: True
In [11]: rc.get("a")
Out[11]: b'b'
In [12]: rc.close()
In [13]: rc.get("a")
