Convert the ixgbe PTP frequency adjustment implementations from .adjfreq to .adjfine. This allows using the scaled parts per million adjustment from the PTP core and results in a more precise adjustment for small corrections. To avoid overflow, use mul_u64_u64_div_u64 to perform the calculation. On X86 platforms, this will use instructions that perform the operations with 128bit intermediate values. For other architectures, the implementation will limit the loss of precision as much as possible. This change slightly improves the precision of frequency adjustments for all ixgbe based devices, and gets us one driver closer to being able to remove the older .adjfreq implementation from the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
