net: dev_ioctl: take ops lock in hwtstamp lower paths
ndo hwtstamp callbacks are expected to run under the per-device ops
lock. Make the lower get/set paths consistent with the rest of ndo
invocations.

Note that the mlx5_hwtstamp_set and mlx5e_hwtstamp_set functions shown
in the trace come from an in progress patch converting the legacy ioctl
to ndo_hwtstamp_get/set and are not present in mainline.
