This patch actually fixes race in case of device is moved from one
bridge to another.

e.g.
ovs-vsctl -- remove Bridge br0 ports <vport-id> -- add Bridge br1
ports <vport-id>

events in this case (This bug only effects RHEL6 kernel).
1. netdev destroy (vport1, dev1) : schedule rcu callback (vport1).
2. netdev create (vport2, dev1) which sets dev->ax25_ptr to vport2
3. free_port_rcu(vport1) this resets vport1->dev->ax25_ptr, but
vport1->dev is dev1 which belongs to vport2.
4. When VM is destroyed ovs receives dp_notify event but that can not
release device refcnt since netdev private data (dev1->ax25_ptr) is
NULL.

Therefore I have pushed his patch to branch-1.10.

The following is also needed:

Moves the registration of the RHEL specific OVS hook to the compat
backport of netdev_rx_handler_register(). This moves the hook
unregistration from the RCU callback to the netdev_destroy()
callback directly.

This is purely cosmetic though, the RHEL hook is only used if the
IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is present which was removed under RTNL
protection before the RCU callback.
