net: ethtool: handle EOPNOTSUPP from ethtool get_ts_info() method

Network drivers sometimes return -EOPNOTSUPP from their get_ts_info()
method, and this should not cause the reporting of PHY timestamping
information to be prohibited. Handle this error code, and also
arrange for ethtool_net_get_ts_info_by_phc() to return -EOPNOTSUPP
when the method is not implemented.

This allows e.g. PHYs connected to DSA switches which support
timestamping to report their timestamping capabilities.
