Code LGTM.
It would be good to capture more of the context: when these spurious
timestamps can appear (network namespaces) and as of which commit (the
one that changes orphaning). As is, I would not be able to understand
the issue addressed from this commit message alone.
Instead of adding context to the commit, you could also add a Link tag
to the archived email thread, if you prefer.
And perhaps: [PATCH net v3] net/packet: return software transmit
timestamp only when requested
