[ Upstream commit 45b33e805bd39f615d9353a7194b2da5281332df ]

If an XDP application that requested TX timestamping is shutting down
while the link of the interface in use is still up the following kernel
splat is reported:

[ 883.803618] [ T1554] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffcfb6200fd008
...
[ 883.803650] [ T1554] Call Trace:
[ 883.803652] [ T1554] <TASK>
[ 883.803654] [ T1554] igc_ptp_tx_tstamp_event+0xdf/0x160 [igc]
[ 883.803660] [ T1554] igc_tsync_interrupt+0x2d5/0x300 [igc]
...

During shutdown of the TX ring the xsk_meta pointers are left behind, so
that the IRQ handler is trying to touch them.

This issue is now being fixed by cleaning up the stale xsk meta data on
TX shutdown. TX timestamps on other queues remain unaffected.

Fixes: 15fd021bc427 ("igc: Add Tx hardware timestamp request for AF_XDP zero-copy packet")
