I'm worried about dpif_port_query_by_name() failing, returning an error,
and then some cleanup code referencing the odp_port.  I don't like the idea
of uninitialized data leaving the port_construct() function, even if it's
garbage that's intended to be destroyed.  That said, I don't feel that
strongly about it, I don't think this solves an actual problem, so I'm
happy to drop it if you think we should.
