I think it is necessary to check which type of packets are stamped
by nic.

For I350 (igb), it only support HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE and
HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL of outgoing packets.For 82599EB(ixgbe), we can 
check more.

I add a new member of hwtstamp_config to judge the ioctl request is read
or write, we can specify the rw in the userspace using hwstamp_ctl
application to get the time stamped info.
