[openstack-dev] [Neutron][QA] Making tests symmetric again

I just spoke with Eugene over IRC and the problem is that the test attempts
to connect to an instance over a private network, which cannot work in
isolated mode.
This patch will skip the load balancing scenario:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/71898/

So thankfully, there is no new neutron issue.

But still, we should probably make gate tests symmetric again.
