gve: make nic clock reads thread safe

Browse source

Add a mutex to protect the shared DMA buffer that receives NIC
timestamp reports. The NIC timestamp will be read from two different
threads: the periodic worker and upcoming `gettimex64`.

Move clock registration to the last step of initialization to ensure
that all data needed by the clock module is initialized before
the clock is exposed to usermode.
