[SRU] openvswitch 2.8.1

[James Page]

[Impact]
This release sports bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
supported customers have access to these improvements.

The update contains the following package updates:

   * openvswitch

[Test Case]
The following SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStackUpdates

In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
-proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
proposed packages can be let into -updates.

The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
this has happened.

[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.
