Title:
  RBAC Permissions too strict for Port_Binding table

Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When using Openstack Ussuri with OVN 20.03 and adding a floating IP
  address to a unbound port the ovn-controller on the hypervisor
  repeatedly reports:

  2021-03-02T10:33:35.517Z|35359|ovsdb_idl|WARN|transaction error: {"details":"RBAC rules for client \"juju-eab186-zaza-d26c8c079cc7-11.project.serverstack\" role \"ovn-controller\" prohibit modification of table \"Port_Binding\".","error":"permission error"}
  2021-03-02T10:33:35.518Z|35360|main|INFO|OVNSB commit failed, force recompute next time.

  The seams to be because the ovn-controller needs to update the
  virtual_parent attribute of the port binding *2 but that is not
  included in the list of permissions allowed by the ovn-controller role
  *1

  *1 https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/blob/aa8ef5588c119fa8615d78288a7db7e3df2d6fbe/northd/ovn-northd.c#L11331-L11332
  *2 https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/4CfcxgDgdm/

  Disabling rbac by changing the role to "" and stopping and starting
  the southbound db listener results in the port being immediately
  updated and the floating IP can be accessed.
