Richard Cochran 2290482379 net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix receive time stamp race condition.
The DSA stack passes received PTP frames to this driver via
mv88e6xxx_port_rxtstamp() for deferred delivery.  The driver then
queues the frame and kicks the worker thread.  The work callback reads
out the latched receive time stamp and then works through the queue,
delivering any non-matching frames without a time stamp.

If a new frame arrives after the worker thread has read out the time
stamp register but enters the queue before the worker finishes
processing the queue, that frame will be delivered without a time
stamp.

This patch fixes the race by moving the queue onto a list on the stack
before reading out the latched time stamp value.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
