igc: Fix PTM timeout

Christopher S M Hall says:

There have been sporadic reports of PTM timeouts using i225/i226 devices

These timeouts have been root caused to:

1) Manipulating the PTM status register while PTM is enabled
   and triggered
2) The hardware retrying too quickly when an inappropriate response
   is received from the upstream device

The issue can be reproduced with the following:

$ sudo phc2sys -R 1000 -O 0 -i tsn0 -m

Note: 1000 Hz (-R 1000) is unrealistically large, but provides a way to
quickly reproduce the issue.

PHC2SYS exits with:

"ioctl PTP_OFFSET_PRECISE: Connection timed out" when the PTM transaction
  fails

The first patch in this series also resolves an issue reported by Corinna
Vinschen relating to kdump:

  This patch also fixes a hang in igc_probe() when loading the igc
  driver in the kdump kernel on systems supporting PTM.

  The igc driver running in the base kernel enables PTM trigger in
  igc_probe().  Therefore the driver is always in PTM trigger mode,
  except in brief periods when manually triggering a PTM cycle.

  When a crash occurs, the NIC is reset while PTM trigger is enabled.
  Due to a hardware problem, the NIC is subsequently in a bad busmaster
  state and doesn't handle register reads/writes.  When running
  igc_probe() in the kdump kernel, the first register access to a NIC
  register hangs driver probing and ultimately breaks kdump.

  With this patch, igc has PTM trigger disabled most of the time,
  and the trigger is only enabled for very brief (10 - 100 us) periods
  when manually triggering a PTM cycle.  Chances that a crash occurs
  during a PTM trigger are not zero, but extremly reduced.

* '1GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/net-queue:
  igc: add lock preventing multiple simultaneous PTM transactions
  igc: cleanup PTP module if probe fails
  igc: handle the IGC_PTP_ENABLED flag correctly
  igc: move ktime snapshot into PTM retry loop
  igc: increase wait time before retrying PTM
  igc: fix PTM cycle trigger logic

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
