Ben Pfaff 954fde3f2e datapath: Avoid use-after-free error in dp_device_event().
Commit f14d80834 "datapath: genl_notify() on port disappearances" frees the
vport before passing it to ovs_vport_cmd_build_info(), which reads the
freed data.

Without this commit, the following commands consistently trigger a kernel
BUG report on my test VM (which has slab debugging enabled) on 3 attempts:

    tunctl
    ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap0
    tunctl -d tap0

With this commit, I consistently don't see the BUG, on a few hundred tries
in a tight loop.

The interesting log information is:

    device tap0 entered promiscuous mode
    device tap0 left promiscuous mode
