net: stmmac: optimize locking around PTP clock reads
Reading the PTP clock is a simple operation requiring only 3 register reads. Under a PREEMPT_RT kernel, protecting those reads by a spin_lock is counter-productive: if the 2nd task preempting the 1st has a higher prio but needs to read time as well, it will require 2 context switches, which will pretty much always be more costly than just disabling preemption for the duration of the reads. Moreover, with the code logic recently added to get_systime(), disabling preemption is not even required anymore: reads and writes just need to be protected from each other, to prevent a clock read while the clock is being updated. Improve the above situation by replacing the PTP spinlock by a rwlock, and using read_lock for PTP clock reads so simultaneous reads do not block each other.
