hv_utils: drop .getcrosststamp() support from PTP driver

Browse Source 
Turns out that our implementation of .getcrosststamp() never actually
worked. Hyper-V is sending time samples every 5 seconds and this is
too much for get_device_system_crosststamp() as it's interpolation
algorithm (which nobody is currently using in kernel, btw) accounts
for a 'slow' device but we're not slow in Hyper-V, our time reference
is too far away.

.getcrosststamp() is not currently used, get_device_system_crosststamp()
almost always returns -EINVAL and client falls back to using PTP_SYS_OFFSET
so this patch doesn't change much. I also tried doing interpolation
manually (e.g. the same way hv_ptp_gettime() works and it turns out that
we're getting even lower quality:

This fact wasn't noticed during the initial testing of the PTP device
somehow but got revealed now. Let's just drop .getcrosststamp()
implementation for now as it doesn't seem to be suitable for us.
