packet: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp

No device driver will ever return an skb_shared_info structure with
syststamp non-zero, so remove the branch that tests for this and
optionally marks the packet timestamp as TP_STATUS_TS_SYS_HARDWARE.

Do not remove the definition TP_STATUS_TS_SYS_HARDWARE, as processes
may refer to it.

 Getting timestamps for the TX_RING works as follows: i) fill the ring frames,
 ii) call sendto() e.g. in blocking mode, iii) wait for status of relevant
