Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/7] net: move copy_from_user() out of net_hwtstamp_validate()

The kernel will want to start using the more meaningful struct
hwtstamp_config pointer in more places, so move the copy_from_user() at
the beginning of dev_set_hwtstamp() in order to get to that, and pass
this argument to net_hwtstamp_validate().
