[PATCH net] net: stmmac: ensure PTP time register reads are consistent

From: Yannick Vignon <yannick.vignon at nxp.com>

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.

Fixes: 92ba6888510c ("stmmac: add the support for PTP hw clock driver")
