e1000e: Fix tight loop implementation of systime read algorithm
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Change the algorithm. Read systimel twice and check for overflow.
If there was no overflow, use the first value.
If there was an overflow, read systimeh again and use the second
systimel value.
