Public bug reported:

It is a common practice in the ``OVNClient`` class to create database admin contexts without considering the current session:
  admin_context = n_context.get_admin_context()

Instead of this, if we are passing the current context, that could have an active session, elevate the active context using:
  admin_context = context.elevated()

** Affects: neutron
