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.
