Re-orders port creation logic so that the initialization of a new
port's message header template occurs while the port list lock is
held. This ensures that a change to the node's network address that
occurs at the same time as the port is being created does not result
in the template identifying the sender using the former network
address. The new approach guarantees that the new port's template is
using the current network address or that it will be updated when
the address changes.
