    net/e1000: fix allocation of context desc for launch time
    
    When the timestamp dynamic flag is set in the mbuf offload flags, force
    allocation of a new context descriptor. The launch time feature requires
    a dedicated context descriptor to specify the desired launch time for
    packet.
    
    Testing was performed on two Intel ADL-S platforms with i226 NICs
    connected back-to-back. A DPDK sample application is created to send two
    bursts of packets with 100,000 nanosecond burst interval. Each burst is
    having 5 UDP packets and only the first packet in the burst using launch
    time feature. Meanwhile, the tcpdump command below is used on the link
    partner to capture the delta of Rx hardware timestamp of the 10 packets:
    
    tcpdump -ttt -ni enp1s0 --time-stamp-precision=nano -j adapter_unsynced
    
    Without this patch, packets of second burst are transmitted immediately
    as the driver din't create context descriptor for the launch time, as
    shown in tcpdump log below:
    
      00:00:00.000000000 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008384 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008381 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008384 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008384 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008384 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008387 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008384 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008381 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
      00:00:00.000008387 IP 192.168.1.100.2 > 224.1.1.1.5: UDP, length 982
    
    With this patch, packets of second burst are properly held until the
    intended 100,000 nanosecond intervals, demonstrating correct launch time
    behavior. As shown in tcpdump log below, the delta of first packet
    between first and second bursts is 8387 + 8384 + 8384 + 8384 + 66461 =
    100,000 nanosecond.
