ofproto: Do not postpone closing the mgmt socket

When the bridge datapath_type is changed, ofproto is destroyed and immediately
recreated. This involves closing and reopening the mgmt socket. If the
destruction of the 'connmgr' is postponed, a race condition might happen, where
we first recreate the socket and then try to destroy it.
