ovn-nbctl: Fix the ovn-nbctl test "LBs - daemon" which fails during rpm build
When 'make check' is called by the mock rpm build (which disables networking),
the test "ovn-nbctl: LBs - daemon" fails when it runs the command
"ovn-nbctl lb-add lb0 30.0.0.1a 192.168.10.10:80,192.168.10.20:80". ovn-nbctl
extracts the vip by calling the socket util function 'inet_parse_active()',
and this function blocks when libunbound function ub_resolve() is called
further down. ub_resolve() is a blocking function without timeout and all the
ovs/ovn utilities use this function.
As reported by Timothy Redaelli, the issue can also be reproduced by running
the below commands
$ sudo unshare -mn -- sh -c 'ip addr add dev lo 127.0.0.1 && \
mount --bind /dev/null /etc/resolv.conf && runuser $SUDO_USER'
$ make sandbox SANDBOXFLAGS="--ovn"
$ ovn-nbctl -vsocket_util:off lb-add lb0 30.0.0.1a \
192.168.10.10:80,192.168.10.20:80
To address this issue, this patch adds a new bool argument 'resolve_host' to
the function inet_parse_active() to resolve the host only if it is 'true'.
ovn-nbctl/ovn-northd will pass 'false' when it calls this function to parse
the load balancer values.
