This makes the bind call much faster because it doesn't need to unregister the
protocol hook, which requires waiting for an RCU grace period (~10ms). Linux
3.14 and later optimize this internally, but Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have a
recent enough kernel.
The Python socket library does the htons for us when creating the sockaddr for
bind.
This change reduces the time to run IVS automated tests by half.
