e1000e: fix timing for 82579 Gigabit Ethernet controller

[ Upstream commit 5313eeccd2d7f486be4e5c7560e3e2be239ec8f7 ]

After an upgrade to Linux kernel v4.x the hardware timestamps of the
82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller are different than expected.
The values that are being read are almost four times as big as before
the kernel upgrade.

The difference is that after the upgrade the driver sets the clock
frequency to 25MHz, where before the upgrade it was set to 96MHz. Intel
confirmed that the correct frequency for this network adapter is 96MHz.
