Since removal of the legacy tunnel port types, there are no more
users for these functions outside the main openvswitch module.
Functions to register vport_ops are also not exported.  Allocating
vports without operations doesn't make a lot of sense.

Highlighted by Sashiko as a follow up to the removal of the module
infrastructure.
