bnxt_en: Prevent kernel panic when receiving unexpected PHC_UPDATE event



The firmware can send PHC_RTC_UPDATE async event on a PF that may not
have PTP registered. In such a case, there will be a null pointer
deference for bp->ptp_cfg when we try to handle the event.

Fix it by not registering for this event with the firmware if !bp->ptp_cfg.
Also, check that bp->ptp_cfg is valid before proceeding when we receive
the event.

Fixes: 8bcf6f04 ("bnxt_en: Handle async event when the PHC is updated in RTC mode")
