net-timestamp: introduce SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER flag

Browse Source 
introduce a new flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER in the receive
path. User can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE to filter
out rx software timestamp report, especially after a process turns on
netstamp_needed_key which can time stamp every incoming skb.

Previously, we found out if an application starts first which turns on
netstamp_needed_key, then another one only passing SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE
could also get rx timestamp. Now we handle this case by introducing this
new flag without breaking users.

Quoting Willem to explain why we need the flag:
"why a process would want to request software timestamp reporting, but
not receive software timestamp generation. The only use I see is when
the application does request
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE."

Similarly, this new flag could also be used for hardware case where we
can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE, then we won't receive
hardware receive timestamp.

Another thing about errqueue in this patch I have a few words to say:
In this case, we need to handle the egress path carefully, or else
reporting the tx timestamp will fail. Egress path and ingress path will
finally call sock_recv_timestamp(). We have to distinguish them.
Errqueue is a good indicator to reflect the flow direction.

@ -267,6 +267,23 @@ SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW:
two separate messages will be looped to the socket's error queue,
each containing just one timestamp.
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER:
Filter out spurious receive timestamps: report a receive timestamp
only if the matching timestamp generation flag is enabled.
Receive timestamps are generated early in the ingress path, before a
packet's destination socket is known. If any socket enables receive
timestamps, packets for all socket will receive timestamped packets.
Including those that request timestamp reporting with
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE and/or SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE, but
do not request receive timestamp generation. This can happen when
requesting transmit timestamps only.
Receiving spurious timestamps is generally benign. A process can
ignore the unexpected non-zero value. But it makes behavior subtly
dependent on other sockets. This flag isolates the socket for more
deterministic behavior.
New applications are encouraged to pass SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID to
disambiguate timestamps and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY to operate
regardless of the setting of sysctl net.core.tstamp_allow_data.
