Yannick Vignon 80d4609008 net: stmmac: ensure PTP time register reads are consistent
Even if protected from preemption and interrupts, a small time window
remains when the 2 register reads could return inconsistent values,
each time the "seconds" register changes. This could lead to an about
1-second error in the reported time.

Add logic to ensure the "seconds" and "nanoseconds" values are consistent.
