Since commit 97dc7cd92ac6 ("ptp: Support late timestamp determination"),
timestamps may need to be retrieved with input from the driver
.ndo_get_tstamp(). Support was missing from mmap'ed AF_PACKET sockets.
The problem was noticed using the igc driver, that since commit
069b142f5819 ("igc: Add support for PTP .getcyclesx64()") has migrated to
use .ndo_get_tstamp() that timestamps were wrong on the receiving side,
when using tcpdump.
Fixes: 069b142f5819 ("igc: Add support for PTP .getcyclesx64()")

Does this call need to be conditional on SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_NETDEV, to
interpret the union as netdev_data?
like get_timestamp, resolve the orig_dev.
