Subject: [PATCH iwl-net 1/3] ice: remove ptp_tx ring parameter flag

Before performing a Tx timestamp in ice_stamp(), the driver checks a ptp_tx
ring variable to see if timestamping is enabled on that ring. This value is
set for all rings whenever userspace configures Tx timestamping.

Ostensibly this was done to avoid wasting cycles checking other fields when
timestamping has not been enabled. However, for Tx timestamps we already
get an individual per-SKB flag indicating whether userspace wants to
request a timestamp on that packet. We do not gain much by also having
a separate flag to check for whether timestamping was enabled.

In fact, the driver currently fails to restore the field after a PF reset.
Because of this, if a PF reset occurs, timestamps will be disabled.

Since this flag doesn't add value in the hotpath, remove it and always
provide a timestamp if the SKB flag has been set.

A following change will fix the reset path to properly restore user
timestamping configuration completely.

This went unnoticed for some time because one of the most common
applications using Tx timestamps, ptp4l, will reconfigure the socket as
part of its fault recovery logic.

Fixes: ea9b847cda64 ("ice: enable transmit timestamps for E810 devices")
