net: stmmac: add timestamp correction to rid CDC sync error

According to Synopsis DesignWare EQoS Databook, the Clock Domain Cross
synchronization error is introduced tue to the clock(GMII Tx/Rx clock)
being different at the capture as compared to the PTP
clock(clk_ptp_ref_i) that is used to generate the time.

The CDC synchronization error is almost equal to 2 times the clock
period of the PTP clock(clk_ptp_ref_i).

On a Intel Tigerlake platform (with Marvell 88E2110 external PHY):

Before applying this patch (with CDC synchronization error):
ptp4l[64.044]: rms    8 max   13 freq +30877 +/-  11 delay   216 +/-   0
ptp4l[65.047]: rms   13 max   20 freq +30869 +/-  17 delay   213 +/-   0
ptp4l[66.050]: rms   12 max   20 freq +30857 +/-  11 delay   213 +/-   0
ptp4l[67.052]: rms   11 max   22 freq +30849 +/-  10 delay   215 +/-   0
ptp4l[68.055]: rms   10 max   16 freq +30853 +/-  13 delay   215 +/-   0
