Do not call update_device_list in large sets

Ovs-agent can process the ports in large sets, then all
of these ports will have to update DB status or attributes.
But neutron server is centralized. It may have to do
something else, or the database processing can be also
time-consuming. Because of these, it sometimes returns
the RPC timeout exception to ovs-agent. And a fullsync
will be triggered in next rpc loop. The restart time is
becoming longer and longer.

Adds a default step to update the port to reduce
the probability of RPC timeout.
