datapath: dp_sysfs_add_dp() needs RTNL lock.

We currently drop RTNL before adding a new datapath to sysfs but
then access the dp data structures.  This moves the call to
dp_sysfs_add_dp() before we drop the locks to prevent a potential
race.  All other calls to sysfs functions already hold RTNL.

Found with lockdep.
