ipsec gre: Do not reread ovs monitor ipsec pidfile in netdev vport so much

Instead of rereading ovs-monitor-ipsec pidfile in netdev-vport so much.  It's
probably only necessary to check once if ovs-monitor-ipsec is running,
and then cache the result.  If the result is negative, then it may be
worthwhile to try again the next time someone tries to configure an ipsec
tunnel.
