Description of problem: Currently, when static routes are converted to br-ex we do not set the interface metric to $ovs_interface as this here only happens in the `else` section (non-static IP address part): https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/blob/95b65245fd3506ec0fe9096a41ec8523a548aa41/templates/common/_base/files/configure-ovs-network.yaml#L325 That means that after such a conversion, NM is free to choose whatever metric it likes.
