It's possible that someone is using the datapath data structures
when we attempt to delete the datapath.  The first writer will
only hold dp->mutex, which we don't currently acquire when deleting.
This adds that lock to prevent a potential race (this can't currently
happen because userspace is single threaded, as long as "ovs-dpctl
del-dp" is not used at the same time).
