Title:
  Incorrect ARP processing when enable_distributed_floating_ip=True

Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ovn source package in Focal:
  In Progress
Status in ovn source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released
Status in ovn source package in Hirsute:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In a focal-ussuri deployment when enabling `enable-distributed-
  floating-ip` traffic from instances with FIPs should exit the HV
  directly and not go through a gateway chassis.

  However due to a bug each HV will attempt to do ARP processing locally
  even for IP addresses not in the external network CIDR.

  This results in loss of connectivity for instances with FIPs.

  The issue is not present in Groovy with OVN 20.06 and I suspect the issue is fixed by this commit:
