map_async causing issue when doing CNMF using ipyparallel

[ethanbb]

Your setup:

1. Operating System (Linux, MacOS, Windows): Linux
2. Hardware type (x86, ARM..) and RAM: x86, 128 GB
3. Python Version (e.g. 3.9): 3.11.8
4. Caiman version (e.g. 1.9.12): 1.11.0
5. Which demo exhibits the problem (if applicable): N/A
6. How you installed Caiman (pure conda, conda + compile, colab, ..): conda + compile
7. Details:

I'm getting the following error when running CNMF with ipyparallel:

AttributeError: 'AsyncMapResult' object has no attribute 'sort'. Did you mean: 'abort'?  

This seems to be because of the following code in cnmf/spatial.py, which calls map_async on the dview and then tries to sort the return value:

    if dview is not None:
        if 'multiprocessing' in str(type(dview)):
            res = dview.map_async(
                threshold_components_parallel, pars).get(4294967)
        else:
            res = dview.map_async(threshold_components_parallel, pars)
    else:
        res = list(map(threshold_components_parallel, pars))

    res.sort(key=lambda x: x[1])

I think most of the other code uses map_sync for the ipyparallel case - is that what was intended here? Oddly, this code doesn't seem to have changed recently; seems like someone would have run into this already.
