Add TX PTP port object support for better TX timestamping accuracy. Currently, driver supports CQE based TX port timestamp. Device also offers TX port timestamp, which has less jitter and better reflects the actual time of a packet's transmit. Define new driver layout called ptpsq, on which driver will create SQs that will support TX port timestamp for their transmitted packets. Driver to identify PTP TX skbs and steer them to these dedicated SQs as part of the select queue ndo. Driver to hold ptpsq per TC and report them at netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add support for all needed functionality in order to xmit and poll completions received via ptpsq. Add ptpsq to the TX reporter recover, diagnose and dump methods. Creation of ptpsqs is disabled by default, and can be enabled via tx_port_ts private flag. This patch steer all timestamp related packets to a ptpsq, but it does not open the port timestamp support for it. The support will be added in the following patch.

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.
