[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 ovn] Deliver multicast traffic to localport ports

Without the patch, OVN doesn't flood multicast traffic to localport
ports.

Among other things, this breaks IP connectivity between VIFs and
localport ports when the switch is vlan-passthru=true since we disable
local ARP responder for such switches, which breaks ARP discovery that
relies on broadcast. This breaks metadata service for OpenStack VLAN
transparent networks.

Even with ARP responder enabled, other types of broadcast traffic were
not delivered to localport ports, so strictly speaking the bug was
always present, it just didn't affect a very particular ARP flow because
of the responder.

Fixes: ea57f666 ("Disable ARP/NA responders for vlan-passthru switches")
