Subject: [PATCH net-next] openvswitch: Don't insert empty OVS_VPORT_ATTR_OPTIONS attribute

The port specific options are currently unused resulting in an
empty OVS_VPORT_ATTR_OPTIONS nested attribute being inserted
into every OVS_VPORT_CMD_GET message.

Don't insert OVS_VPORT_ATTR_OPTIONS if no options are present.
