Title:
  [ovn] metadata route missing on the guest

Status in neutron:
  New
Status in neutron package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  * High level description

  Metadata server (169.254.169.254) is unreachable on VMs attached to only one affected network in the entire cluster. DHCP is enabled on that subnet and VMs get their IP addresses on boot, however the routing rule for metadata is missing:
  $ ip r
  default via 10.134.253.1 dev eth0 
  10.134.253.0/24 dev eth0 scope link  src 10.134.253.181 

  Because of that cloud-init metadata requests are being sent to the
  router rather than ovnmeta netns.

  On guests running in the unaffected network, routing table after booting or sending DHCP request looks like this and metadata endpoint is reachable:
  $ ip r
  default via 172.16.2.1 dev eth0 
  169.254.169.254 via 172.16.2.10 dev eth0 
  172.16.2.0/24 dev eth0 scope link  src 172.16.2.248 

  I managed to work this around by manually adding a route to the
  metadata IP via DHCP port on the router attached to that network,
  however I believe it should not be needed and such configuration is
  definitely not present on all the "good" networks on this cluster.

  Please let me know what logs and other information would be useful
  here.

  * Step-by-step reproduction steps

  1) Create a VM attached to the affected network.
  2) Metadata server is unreachable, cloud-init fails because of the missing route not being provided by DHCP server.

  * Expected output

  I'd expect metadata route to be present on the guest:

  $ ip r
  default via 10.134.253.1 dev eth0 
  169.254.169.254 via 10.134.253.2 dev eth0
  10.134.253.0/24 dev eth0 scope link  src 10.134.253.181 

  * Actual output:

  $ ip r
  default via 10.134.253.1 dev eth0 
  10.134.253.0/24 dev eth0 scope link  src 10.134.253.181

  are affected

  * Environment

  42 compute nodes, nova-compute 21.2.2-0ubuntu1 + libvirt 6.0.0-0ubuntu8.14 + KVM.
  Deployed with Juju charms.

  * Perceived severity

  Not a blocker since there is a workaround.
