Subject: [RFC 4/4] af_packet: efficient SOCK_TIMESTAMP support

Implement SOCK_TIMESTAMP support for AF_PACKET sockets by recording a
timestamp for each skb which makes it past the filter.

By implementing SOCK_TIMESTAMP at this layer, we avoid the overhead of
recording a timestamp in the net core for every packet before we
know whether the packet will be filtered.

This preserves the existing behavior of recording a timestamp in the
tpacket_hdr of every packet on an mmaped packet socket, regardless of
whether SOCK_TIMESTAMP is set (but at least now we'll always record
timestamps *after* the filter runs).
