Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next] ptp: dynamic allocation of PHC char devices

As network adapters supporting PTP are becoming more common, machines with
many NICs suddenly have many PHCs, too. The current limit of eight /dev/ptp*
char devices (and thus, 8 network interfaces with PHC) is insufficient. Let
the ptp driver allocate the char devices dynamically.

Tested with 28 PHCs, removing and re-adding some of them.

Thanks to Ben Hutchings for advice leading to simpler and cleaner patch.

v3: Converted from idr to ida, dropped mutex guarding idr allocation, static
    ida initialization.

v2: Removed dynamic allocation of chunks of minor numbers, the full minor
    range is allocated instead.
