Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
13.0-RHEL-7/2020-05-19.2
python-networking-ovn-4.0.4-4.el7ost.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
On fresh Director install (OVN+DVR) run the following commands  
1. Create external network: 
openstack network create --provider-network-type flat --provider-physical-network datacentre --external external
2. Create external subnet
openstack subnet create --gateway 10.0.0.1 --dns-nameserver 10.0.0.1 --network external --subnet-range 10.0.0.0/24 --allocation-pool start=10.0.0.151,end=10.0.0.200 external-subnet
3. Create router 
openstack router create routerA
4. Try to connect router to the external network
openstack router set routerA --external-gateway external

Actual results:

HttpException: 500: Server Error for url: http://10.0.0.108:9696/v2.0/routers/0ef1977b-2f8c-4fc7-a908-f49b45e1fc71, {"NeutronError": {"message": "Request Failed: internal server error while processing your request.", "type": "HTTPInternalServerError", "detail": ""}}


Expected results:
Router connected to external network

Additional info:

Note, the issue makes OVN almost unusable on z12-spin2 puddle (2020-05-19.2)
More than 200 tempest tests failed on various OVN downstream CI jobs.
