Description:
this commands sequence crashes IM
        start instance <instance_name>; 
        flush instances; 
        stop instance <same_instance>;

This happens due to the way reload procedure works: we destroy the mutex in
flush instances, which we try to use later to refresh the info when instance is stopped.

How to repeat:
see description section

Suggested fix:
get the instance object and mutex from instance_map each time. (now it is saved in the function context)
