Richard Cochran 7b7e046e91 Add an optional extra check on sync and follow up message ordering.
Because of packet reordering that can occur in the network, in the
hardware, or in the networking stack, a follow up message can appear
to arrive in the application before the matching sync message. As this
is a normal occurrence, and the sequenceID message field ensures
proper matching, the ptp4l program accepts out of order packets.

This patch adds an additional check using the software time stamps
from the networking stack to verify that the sync message did arrive
first. This check is only useful if the sequence IDs generated by
the master might possibly be incorrect.
