  [Hyper-V] Implement Hyper-V PTP Source

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Triaged
Status in linux source package in Yakkety:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Please include the following upstream commit into lts-xenial, 16.04
  HWE, Yakkity, and Zesty. This will improve the behavior of timesync on

      hv_utils: implement Hyper-V PTP source

      With TimeSync version 4 protocol support we started updating system time
      continuously through the whole lifetime of Hyper-V guests. Every 5 seconds
      there is a time sample from the host which triggers do_settimeofday[64]().
      While the time from the host is very accurate such adjustments may cause
      issues:
      - Time is jumping forward and backward, some applications may misbehave.
      - In case an NTP server runs in parallel and uses something else for time
        sync (network, PTP,...) system time will never converge.
      - Systemd starts annoying you by printing "Time has been changed" every 5
        seconds to the system log.

      Instead of doing in-kernel time adjustments offload the work to an
      NTP client by exposing TimeSync messages as a PTP device. Users may now
      decide what they want to use as a source.

      I tested the solution with chrony, the config was:

       refclock PHC /dev/ptp0 poll 3 dpoll -2 offset 0

      The result I'm seeing is accurate enough, the time delta between the guest
      and the host is almost always within [-10us, +10us], the in-kernel solution
      was giving us comparable results.

      I also tried implementing PPS device instead of PTP by using not currently
      used Hyper-V synthetic timers (we use only one of four for clockevent) but
      with PPS source only chrony wasn't able to give me the required accuracy,
      the delta often more that 100us.
