While using Ansible's Selinux module to manage ports, I discovered
that numerical ports caused an unhandled exception in 'seobject.py'.
This appears to be a bug, and I am proposing a fix which checks the
type of the argument before operating on it.  This maintains the
original functionality in the case of a string, and acts in the same
fashion if you supply an integer.

I did not find any open bug report against the SELinux project. The
downstream bug report is here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/60968
