ice: handle discarding old Tx requests in ice_ptp_tx_tstamp

commit 0dd92862

 upstream.

Currently the driver uses the PTP kthread to process handling and
discarding of stale Tx timestamp requests. The function
ice_ptp_tx_tstamp_cleanup is used for this.

A separate thread creates complications for the driver as we now have both
the main Tx timestamp processing IRQ checking timestamps as well as the
kthread.

Rather than using the kthread to handle this, simply check for stale
timestamps within the ice_ptp_tx_tstamp function. This function must
already process the timestamps anyways.

If a Tx timestamp has been waiting for 2 seconds we simply clear the bit
and discard the SKB. This avoids the complication of having separate
threads polling, reducing overall CPU work.
