Subject: [PATCH net-next] bnxt_en: optimize gettimex64

Current implementation of gettimex64() makes at least 3 PCIe reads to
get current PHC time. It takes at least 2.2us to get this value back to
userspace. At the same time there is cached value of upper bits of PHC
available for packet timestamps already. This patch reuses cached value
to speed up reading of PHC time.

I did some benchmarks on host with Broadcom Thor NIC trying to build
histogram of time spent to call clock_gettime() to query PTP device
over million iterations.
With current implementation the result is (long tail is cut):

2200ns: 902624
2300ns: 87404
2400ns: 4025
2500ns: 1307
2600ns: 581
2700ns: 261
2800ns: 104
2900ns: 36
3000ns: 32
3100ns: 24
3200ns: 16
3300ns: 29
3400ns: 29
3500ns: 23

Optimized version on the very same machine and NIC gives next values:

900ns: 865436
1000ns: 128630
1100ns: 2671
1200ns: 727
1300ns: 397
1400ns: 178
1500ns: 92
1600ns: 16
1700ns: 15
1800ns: 11
1900ns: 6
2000ns: 20
2100ns: 11

That means pct(99) improved from 2300ns to 1000ns.
