igc: TX timestamping fixes

This is the fixes part of the series intended to add support for using
the 4 timestamp registers present in i225/i226.

Moving the timestamp handling to be inline with the interrupt handling
has the advantage of improving the TX timestamping retrieval latency,
here are some numbers using ntpperf:

Before:

$ sudo ./ntpperf -i enp3s0 -m 10:22:22:22:22:21 -d 192.168.1.3 -s 172.18.0.0/16 -I -H -o -37

During this series, and to show that as is always the case, things are
never easy as they should be, a hardware issue was found, and it took
some time to find the workaround(s). The bug and workaround are better
explained in patch 4/4.

Note: the workaround has a simpler alternative, but it would involve
adding support for the other timestamp registers, and only using the
TXSTMP{H/L}_0 as a way to clear the interrupt. But I feel bad about
throwing this kind of resources away. Didn't test this extensively but
it should work.

Also, as Marc Kleine-Budde suggested, after some consensus is reached
on this series, most parts of it will be proposed for igb.

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 Restructured Text 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.
