Currently, the per cpu upcall counters are allocated after the vport is
created and inserted into the system. This could lead to the datapath
accessing the counters before they are allocated resulting in a kernel
Oops.
Here is an example:

We moved the per cpu upcall counter allocation to the existing vport
alloc and free functions to solve this.
