Upgrade to 9.1.4 fails on sidekiq

Summary

While there is no announcement yet, there is a 9.1.4 omnibus package for gitlab available for Gitlab EE. I tried updating from the latest 9.1.3 EE and it went wrong. The upgrade fails on the Sidekiq step.

Steps to reproduce

Upgrade from 9.1.3 EE to 9.1.4 using omnibus.

What is the current bug behavior?

Sidekiq/Redis failed upgrading. Eventually Gitlab does start and shows the 9.1.4 version on the admin page.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Usual upgrade

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Upgrade command-line output:
