Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez 413044f253 [OVN] The L3 scheduler does not use all chassis by default
Any OVN scheduler, inheriting from ``OVNGatewayScheduler``, calls
``_schedule_gateway`` to make the decision of in what chassis the
router gatweway should be located. Before this patch, if the list
of candidates was empty, the scheduler used all available chassis
as candidate list. This patch is removing this default behaviour.
In a deployment, only those chassis marked explicitly with
"ovn-cms-options=enable-chassis-as-gw" can be used as gateway
chassis.

After enabling this patch, any existing router gateway port will
preserve the assigned chassis; any new router gateway will be
scheduled only on the chassis configured as gateways.

If a router gateway port cannot find any chassis to be scheduled,
the "neutron-ovn-invalid-chassis" will be used instead and a
warning message will be printed in the logs.

features:
- |
The OVN L3 scheduler will assign chassis explicitly configured as gateways
to the router gateway ports (OVN logical router ports). If no candidates are
available, the "neutron-ovn-invalid-chassis" will be used instead and a
warning message will be printed in the logs.
upgrade:
- |
In ML2/OVN, any new router gateway port (OVN logical router port) will be
scheduled only on those chassis configured as gateway. Any existing router
gateway port will preserve the current chassis assignation.
