ixgbe: Inline Rx PTP descriptor handling
This change is meant to inline the Rx PTP descriptor handling. The main motivation is to avoid unnecessary jumps into function calls that we then immediately exit because we are not performing timestamps. The net result of this change is that ixgbe_ptp_rx_tstamp drops from .5% CPU utilization in my performance runs to 0%, and the only value tested is the Rx descriptor which should already be warm in the cache if not stored in a register.
