When the interrupt is handled, the TXTT_0 bit in the TSYNCTXCTL
register should already be set and the timestamp value already loaded
in the appropriate register.
This simplifies the handling, and reduces the latency for retrieving
the TX timestamp, which increase the amount of TX timestamps that can
be handled in a given time period.
As the "work" function doesn't run in a workqueue anymore, rename it
to something more sensible, a event handler.
Using ntpperf[1] we can see the following performance improvements:

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.
