ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool
[ Upstream commit b3b173745c8cab1e24d6821488b60abed3acb24d ]
When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver
allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This
results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and
would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit
timestamp on the new ring.
