ice: track and warn when PHC update is late
The ice driver requires a cached copy of the PHC time in order to perform timestamp extension on Tx and Rx hardware timestamp values. This cached PHC time must always be updated at least once every 2 seconds. Otherwise, the math used to perform the extension would produce invalid results. The updates are supposed to occur periodically in the PTP kthread work item, which is scheduled to run every half second. Thus, we do not expect an update to be delayed for so long. However, there are error conditions which can cause the update to be delayed. Track this situation by using jiffies to determine approximately how long ago the last update occurred. Add a new statistic and a dev_warn when we have failed to update the cached PHC time. This makes the error case more obvious.
