ptp: vmclock: Use hw_cycles from snapshot for precise TSC pairing refs/merge-window/df7610115bad68761e38a34648dfd6f5cd161cd6

When the system clocksource is kvmclock or Hyper-V (not the TSC directly), vmclock_get_crosststamp() falls through to a separate get_cycles() call, losing the atomic pairing between the system time snapshot and the TSC reading. Now that ktime_get_snapshot_id() populates hw_cycles with the underlying TSC value for derived clocksources, use it when available. This gives a perfect (system_time, tsc) pairing for the device time calculation. The SUPPORT_KVMCLOCK wrapper is still needed to convert the TSC into kvmclock nanoseconds for system_counter->cycles, because otherwise get_device_system_crosststamp() can't interpret the result against the system clock.
