[PATCH net-next] ptp: only allow phase values lower than 1 period

[Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@gmail.com>]

The way we define the phase (the difference between the time of the
signal's rising edge, and the closest integer multiple of the period),
it doesn't make sense to have a phase value larger than 1 period.

So deny these settings coming from the user.
