[PATCH net-next v6 2/3] net: stmmac: guard against a zero channel in the aux snapshot handler

The generic timestamp_interrupt() handler derives the EXTTS channel
index with ilog2() applied directly to the PTP_ACR channel mask, with
no check for a zero mask.  ilog2(0) yields -1, which ends up in
event.index as 0xffffffff, and ptp_clock_event() uses that index in
test_bit() against a PTP_MAX_CHANNELS bitmap without range validation,
reading far past the allocation from hard IRQ context.

The zero-mask window is reachable: stmmac_enable() sets
STMMAC_FLAG_EXT_SNAPSHOT_EN before it programs PTP_ACR, so an EXTTS
interrupt arriving in between passes the flag check while the mask is
still clear (snapshots can also linger in the FIFO from a previous
enable, as only PTP_ACR_ATSFC clears them).

Check the mask before applying the ilog2().
