ptp: vclock: preserve missing hardware timestamps
Socket timestamp delivery converts hardware timestamps to a bound virtual clock before checking whether a hardware timestamp is present. A zero timestamp means that the packet has no hardware timestamp, but timecounter_cyc2time() can turn that zero into a nonzero virtual time. The socket then reports a hardware timestamp which was never supplied. Return zero without conversion when the input timestamp is absent. This also covers skb_get_tx_timestamp(), which checks for an absent timestamp after the same conversion. This was identified during review of virtual clock sampling changes.
