Title:
  Remove and recreate interfacein ovs  if already exists

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Fix Committed
Status in neutron havana series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  If the dhcp-agent machine restarts and openvswitch logs the following
  warning message for all tap interfaces that have not been recreated yet:

  bridge|WARN|could not open network device tap2cf7dbad-9d (No such
  device)

  Once the dhcp-agent starts he recreates the interfaces and readds them to the
  ovs-bridge. Unfortinately, ovs does not reinitalize the interface as its
  already in ovsdb and does not assign it an ofport number.

  In order to correct this we should first remove interfaces that exist and
  then readd them.
