Bug 2151287

I can reproduce this issue on version:
# rpm -qa|grep ovn
ovn22.09-central-22.09.0-22.el9fdp.x86_64
ovn22.09-host-22.09.0-22.el9fdp.x86_64
ovn22.09-22.09.0-22.el9fdp.x86_64

topo:
#    foo -- R1 -- join - R2 -- alice
#           |          |
#    bar ----          - R3 --- bob
#

set lb for R1 as below:
# ovn-nbctl list load_balancer
_uuid               : 84152d94-1c68-4311-8fd7-36ae12a4377a
external_ids        : {}
health_check        : []
ip_port_mappings    : {}
name                : lb1-no-aff
options             : {}
protocol            : tcp
selection_fields    : []
vips                : {"172.16.1.101:8081"="192.168.1.2:80,192.168.2.2:80"}


_uuid               : 8b2caa4d-83c5-49bc-a779-20dc5cbf1730
external_ids        : {}
health_check        : []
ip_port_mappings    : {}
name                : lb1
options             : {affinity_timeout="3"}

then, do "ip netns exec alice1 ncat 172.16.1.101 8081 <<< h"
but we can see that counter is increased for port 8080

we set two lb for lr,one with affiinity and another without,
do "ip netns exec alice1 ncat 172.16.1.101 8081 <<< h"
we can see that counter isn't increased for port 8080
