tunnel: Fix bug where misconfiguration persists.
		
Previously, misconfiguring a tunnel port to use the exact same settings
would cause the corresponding netdev to never be destroyed. When
attempting to re-use the port as a different type, this would fail and
result in a discrepancy between reported port type and actual netdev in
use.

An example configuration that would previously give unexpected behaviour:

ovs-vsctl add-port br0 p0 -- set int p0 type=gre options:remote_ip=1.2.3.4
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 p1 -- set int p1 type=internal
ovs-vsctl set int p1 type=gre options:remote_ip=1.2.3.4
ovs-vsctl set int p1 type=internal

The final command would report in the ovs-vswitchd logs that it is
attempting to configure the port with the same gre settings as p0,
despite the command specifying the type as internal. Even after
deleting and re-adding the port, the message would reappear.

This patch fixes the bug by dereferencing the netdev in the failure
case of tnl_port_add__(), and ensures that the tnl_port structure is
freed in that case as well.

Bug #1198386.
