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.
