tipc: Remove unneeded parameter to tipc_createport_raw()

This patch eliminates an unneeded parameter when creating a low-level
TIPC port object.  Instead of returning both the pointer to the port
structure and the port's reference ID, it now returns only the pointer
since the port structure contains the reference ID as one of its fields.
