[Bug][202405]: Config reload failure regression

[arista-hpandya]

Issue Description

In our recent T2 topology test run, we noticed that many tests suites like arp, bgp and ip tests were affected by config reload failures:

config reload -y -f &>/dev/null

We suspect this to be a regression caused by recent changes introduced in: sonic-net/sonic-utilities#3682

This issue is intermittent and not consistently reproducible by re-running config reload in isolation.

Results you see

failed = True
changed = True
rc = 1

Results you expected to see

We expect config reload to pass

Is it platform specific

generic
