Subject: [net-next 03/11] ixgbe: Do not schedule an uninitialized workqueue entry

From: Mark Rustad <mark.d.rustad@...el.com>

If a hardware Tx timestamp is requested, an uninitialized
workqueue entry may be scheduled, especially on an 82598 adapter.
Add a check for a PTP clock to avoid that. Also only apply the
unlikely to the first term of the conditional. That will make the
rest of the checks be in the cold path.
