From: Vineeth Pillai <viremana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit b46b4a8a57c377b72a98c7930a9f6969d2d4784e There could be instances where a system stall prevents the timesync packets to be consumed. And this might lead to more than one packet pending in the ring buffer. Current code empties one packet per callback and it might be a stale one. So drain all the packets from ring buffer on each callback.

Fixed this manually for 4.19.y by using PAGE_SIZE instead. If there are multiple messages in the host-to-guest ringbuffer of the TimeSync device, 4.19.y only handles 1 message, and later the host puts new messages into the ringbuffer without signaling the guest because the ringbuffer is not empty, causing a "hung" ringbuffer. Backported the mainline fix for this issue.
