Subject: [PATCH net] igb: Avoid starting unnecessary workqueues

From: Alessio Igor Bogani <alessio.bogani@...ttra.eu>

If ptp_clock_register() fails or CONFIG_PTP isn't enabled, avoid starting
PTP related workqueues.

In this way we can fix this:
 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000440b6f8
 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
 PGD 100000067 P4D 100000067 PUD 1001e0067 PMD 107dc5067 PTE 0
 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
 [...]
 Workqueue: events igb_ptp_overflow_check
 RIP: 0010:igb_rd32+0x1f/0x60
 [...]
 Call Trace:
  igb_ptp_read_82580+0x20/0x50

Fixes: 1f6e8178d685 ("igb: Prevent dropped Tx timestamps via work items and interrupts.")
Fixes: d339b1331616 ("igb: add PTP Hardware Clock code")
