Subject: [PATCH net] gve: Check valid ts bit on RX descriptor before hw timestamping

From: Tim Hostetler <thostet@...gle.com>

The device returns a valid bit in the LSB of the low timestamp byte in
the completion descriptor that the driver should check before
setting the SKB's hardware timestamp. If the timestamp is not valid, do not
hardware timestamp the SKB.
