Estimate the 1st and 2nd 10-quantile of the reading delay and accept
only readings between them unless the error of the offset predicted from
previous samples is larger than the minimum reading error. With the 25
PHC readings per ioctl it should combine about 2-3 readings.
This should improve hwclock tracking and synchronization stability when
a PHC reading delay occasionally falls below the normal expected
minimum, or all readings in the batch are delayed significantly (e.g.
due to high PCIe load).
Move processing of PHC readings from sys_linux to hwclock, where
statistics can be collected and filtering improved.
In the PHC refclock driver accumulate the samples even if not in the
external timestamping mode to update the context which will be needed
for improved filtering.
On some HW it seems it's possible to get an occasional bad reading of
the PHC (with normal delay), or in a worse case the clock can step due
to a HW/driver bug, which triggers reset of the HW clock instance. To
avoid having a bad estimate of the frequency when the next (good) sample
is accumulated, drop also the last sample which triggered the reset.
