SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.
Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged.

This patch removes the abstraction introduced by the union skb_shared_tx in
the shared skb data.
The access of the different union elements at several places led to some
confusion about accessing the shared tx_flags e.g. in skb_orphan_try().

The current documentation for hardware time stamping does not
correctly specify the available kernel functions since the
implementation was changed later on.

Instructions for time stamping outgoing packets are take from the
socket layer and later copied into the new skb.

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.
When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.
The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.
