Subject: [PATCH 4.9 32/33] nfp: TX time stamp packets before HW doorbell is rung

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@...ronome.com>

commit 46f1c52e66dbc0d7a99f7c2a3c9debb497fe7b7b upstream.

TX completion may happen any time after HW queue was kicked.
We can't access the skb afterwards.  Move the time stamping
before ringing the doorbell.

Fixes: 4c3523623dc0 ("net: add driver for Netronome NFP4000/NFP6000 NIC VFs")
