Subject: [patch 01/13] ptp: Split out PTP_CLOCK_GETCAPS ioctl code

ptp_ioctl() is an inpenetrable letter soup with a gazillion of case (scope)
specific variables defined at the top of the function and pointless breaks
and gotos.

Start cleaning it up by splitting out the PTP_CLOCK_GETCAPS ioctl code into
a helper function. Use a argument pointer with a single sparse compliant
type cast instead of proliferating the type cast all over the place.

No functional change intended.
