Describe the bug
The reaper manager registration is subject to race conditions, which means multiple reapers can potentially start at the same time causing extra load in redis. Bug found on version v7.1.30.
Expected behavior
There should be only one reaper manager, even when running multiple Sidekiq processes.
Current behavior
The bug can be easily replicated using the following snippet:
> 1000.times { |index| Thread.new { sleep(rand()); SidekiqUniqueJobs::Orphans::Manager.start } }

As you can see multiple managers were registered, but there should only be one.
On our deployment, we have frequent Sidekiq restarts, which exacerbates this problem, and we ended up running over 20+ reaper managers at the same time, what cripples Redis performance.
