Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dpif-netlink: Fix null pointer.

In dpif_netlink_port_add__(), socksp could be NULL, because
vport_socksp_to_pids() would allocate a new array and return a single
zero element.
Following vport_socksp_to_pids() removal, a NULL pointer can happen when
dpif_netlink_port_add__() is called and dpif->handlers is 0.

Restore the old behaviour of using a zero pid when dpif->handlers is 0.

Fixes: 69c51582f ("dpif-netlink: don't allocate per thread netlink sockets")
