Currently, the dpll subsystem exports the fractional frequency offset
(FFO) in parts per million (ppm). This granularity is insufficient for
high-precision synchronization scenarios which often require parts per
trillion (ppt) resolution.

Add a new netlink attribute DPLL_A_PIN_FRACTIONAL_FREQUENCY_OFFSET_PPT
to expose the FFO in ppt.

Update the dpll netlink core to expect the driver-provided FFO value
to be in ppt. To maintain backward compatibility with existing userspace
tools, populate the legacy DPLL_A_PIN_FRACTIONAL_FREQUENCY_OFFSET
attribute by dividing the new ppt value by 1,000,000.

Update the zl3073x and mlx5 drivers to provide the FFO value in ppt:
- zl3073x: adjust the fixed-point calculation to produce ppt (10^12)
  instead of ppm (10^6).
- mlx5: scale the existing ppm value by 1,000,000.
