Add and delete port test fails in the Debian package due to error logged from vif-plug-representor

[Frode Nordahl]

OVN commit 264c825f0a0e ("ovn-controller: remove un-necessary "trying to release" warnings") added a test that fails if any warning or error is logged from the ovn-controller.

This revealed the fact that the OVN-VIF representor plugin logs an error while running the test:
./ovn.at:35873: check_logs "" hv1

From cursory view, I do not see this logged on an actual production setup with ovn-controller running directly on a host. I do see it when running this test in a container though.

We should probably make the failure graceful at the initialization stage, and rather log warnings if this state is found while doing a lookup, or just lower the severity to INFO/DBG.
