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
