igb: Avoid starting unnecessary workqueues



[ Upstream commit b888c510 ]

If ptp_clock_register() fails or CONFIG_PTP isn't enabled, avoid starting
PTP related workqueues.

In this way we can fix this:
 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000440b6f8
 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
 PGD 100000067 P4D 100000067 PUD 1001e0067 PMD 107dc5067 PTE 0
