Can we please invent a more descriptive name for this method?
The word "guaranteed" suggests much more.

This is good:           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can drop this part:                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, please rename ptp_guaranteed_pclock() to ptp_vclock_in_use();

Why not use "unsigned int" type?  I don't see a need to set an artificial limit.

"flag" is vague.  How about "is_virtual_clock" instead?

Need to take mutex for n_vclocks to prevent load tearing.

Take mutex.

Why limit this to twenty clocks?
