FIx is needed in core neutron. Prakash to attach patch with this bug and start the process of upstreaming.

Problem:
neutron cli command to clear the allowed-address-pairs fails.

workaround:
Use REST interface to neutron to clear allowed address pair.

curl -i http://<ip>:9696/v2.0/ports/<port-uuid>.json -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: $Token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "User-Agent: python-neutronclient" -d '{"port": {"allowed_address_pairs": []}}'
