Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 5/6] ptp: Allow vclocks without free running physical clock

If a physical clock supports an additional free running time, then there
is no need to force the physical clock itself to free running.

Guarantee free running physical clock only if additional free running
time is not supported.
