Subject: [ovs-dev] [PATCH ovn v2] ovn-northd: Optionally skip the check of
lsp_is_up.

The checking of lsp "up" status before adding ARP responder flows was
added to avoid confusion in cases when a network admin sees ARP response
for VM/containers that is not up on chassis yet. However, this check
introduces an extra round of flow change in SB and triggers computes
on hypervisors which is unnecessary cost in most cases, especially for
large scale environment. To improve this, this patch provides an option
ignore_lsp_down to disable the check for the use cases when ARP reponse for a
port that is "down" isn't considered harmful.

v1 -> v2: change the option from "check_lsp_is_up" to "ignore_lsp_down" as
suggested by Numan.
