Description of problem: Due to a refactor PR to try to clean up some of the libovsdb interaction code in ovn-kube, the behavior of updating columns in the database back to their default values was changed. Previously the code would specify which columns/fields of a row that need to be updated. With the PR, now it is assumed that only fields with non-default values need to be updated: https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn-kubernetes/pull/2800 The consequence of this is that for certain column types (map, slice, pointer) the values will never get updated if they are set back to their default value. For example, if there is a logical switch port who currently has a vlan tag of 5, and the port is updated to remove the tag, this update will never happen because of this bug. Additionally if there is a column that holds a slice or map type, and it is trying to be set back to empty that will never happen. Since this refactor touched many places in ovnk, this regression is likely across multiple features and functionality.
