Subject: [patch] usbnet: add timestamping support

In order to make USB-to-Ethernet-adapters (depending on usbnet) support
time stamping, the "skb_defer_rx_timestamp" and "skb_tx_timestamp"
function calls are added.

I considered to put these calls between #ifdef's to make them dependent
on CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING. I decided not to do so because except
the check whether the current packet is a PTP packet (and this check
should be fast) no overhead occurs. But let me know your opinion about
that one.

Looking forward to your comments,
Michael
