packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities
This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.
PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.
If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).

++ PACKET_TIMESTAMP
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The PACKET_TIMESTAMP setting determines the source of the timestamp in
+the packet meta information. If your NIC is capable of timestamping
+packets in hardware, you can request those hardware timestamps to used.
+Note: you may need to enable the generation of hardware timestamps with
+SIOCSHWTSTAMP.

+and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are recognized by

+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.

+ int req = 0;

+See include/linux/net_tstamp.h and Documentation/networking/timestamping
