datapath: Adopt Generic Netlink-compatible locking.
The kernel Generic Netlink layer always holds a mutex (genl_lock) when it
invokes callbacks, so that means that there is no point in having
per-datapath mutexes or a separate vport lock. This commit removes them.
This commit breaks support for Linux before 2.6.35 because it calls
genl_lock(), which wasn't exported before that version. That problem will
be fixed once the whole userspace interface transitions to Generic
Netlink a few commits from now.
