[PATCH v4 5/6] net/gve: support read clock ethdev op

Implement the read_clock operation in eth_dev_ops. The function calls
the AdminQ command to fetch the current NIC timestamp synchronously,
updates the cached timestamp used for reconstruction, and returns the
full 64-bit value.

v4:
- Fix mutex initialization order: initialize nic_ts_lock before
calling gve_init_priv() (which invokes early setup-time read).
- Fix mutex teardown order: destroy nic_ts_lock only after the
background sync thread has been joined and stopped.
v3:
- Add mutex lock to protect shared NIC timestamp memzone access.
- Fix missing read_clock assignment to DQO queue ops table
(accidental omission in v2).
v2:
- Scoped read_clock ethdev operation strictly to DQO queues.
