This patch series introduces support for GVE hardware timestamping on DQO
queues. To support concurrent access, a mutex lock is introduced to protect
admin queue operations. A mechanism is then added to periodically synchronize
the NIC clock via AdminQ, and support is introduced for the read_clock ethdev
operation. Finally, the RX datapath is updated to reconstruct full 64-bit
timestamps from the 32-bit values in DQO descriptors.

v2:
- Patch 1: Dropped ROBUST mutex attribute.
- Patch 3: Added adminq timestamp counter reset to gve_adminq_alloc.
- Patch 4:
- Removed redundant void* casts.
- Handled alarm reschedule failures by marking timestamp stale.
- Added transient error logging on memzone allocation failure.
- Patch 5: Scoped read_clock ethdev operation strictly to DQO queues.
- Patch 6:
- Scoped timestamp offload capability advertisement strictly to
DQO queues.
- Predicated capability advertisement directly on memzone
allocation.
- Initialized mbuf_timestamp_offset to -1.
- Added blank line separating release notes.
