Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message
for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of
the real interface which received the packet and the length of the
packet at layer 2.

The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where
IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the
timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to
transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in
the NTP protocol.

While this information could be provided by two new socket options
independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very
useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware
timestamping.

Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels
with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero
index will be returned in the control message.

It is probably good to explicitly call out that the remaining two fields
are reserved and undefined. To stress that applications cannot be
overly pedantic and start failing if these become non-zero.

Ok. I'm adding "The struct contains also two other fields, but they
are reserved and undefined".

 New applications are encouraged to pass SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID to
 disambiguate timestamps and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY to operate
 regardless of the setting of sysctl net.core.tstamp_allow_data.
