[ovn] Updating binding profile through CLI doesn't work

[Daniel Alvarez]

Updating the binding profile of a port will fail because of invalid type. This suggests a bug in the Neutron code that handles the parameters.

$ neutron --debug port-update subportD --binding:profile type=dict parent_name=4af7ef43-597b-4747-b3ac-2b045db17374,tag=999

...

Just for the record: this bug is ovn-only. The same binding profile can be set with ml2/ovs:

openstack port set port0 --binding-profile parent_name=4af7ef43-597b-4747-b3ac-2b045db17374 --binding-profile tag=999
