net: dsa: make dsa_port_supports_hwtstamp() construct a fake ifreq

dsa_master_ioctl() is in the process of getting converted to a different
API, where we won't have access to a struct ifreq * anymore, but rather,
to a struct kernel_hwtstamp_config.

Since ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() still uses struct ifreq *, this
creates a difficult situation where we have to make up such a dummy
pointer.

The conversion is a bit messy, because it forces a "good" implementation
of ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() to return -EFAULT in copy_to_user()
because of the NULL ifr->ifr_data pointer. However, it works, and it is
only a transient step until ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() gets converted
to the new API which passes struct kernel_hwtstamp_config and does not
call copy_to_user().
