The hyperv utilities use PTP clock interfaces and should depend a
a kconfig symbol such that they will be built as a loadable module or
builtin so that linker errors do not happen.

Prevents these build errors:

ld: drivers/hv/hv_util.o: in function `hv_timesync_deinit':
hv_util.c:(.text+0x37d): undefined reference to `ptp_clock_unregister'
ld: drivers/hv/hv_util.o: in function `hv_timesync_init':
hv_util.c:(.text+0x738): undefined reference to `ptp_clock_register'

Fixes: 46a971913611a ("Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directory")

Seems like the "Fixes" tag should reference something a little newer than
when the Hyper-V code was first added. Either commit 3716a49a81ba
("hv_utils: implement Hyper-V PTP source") or commit e5f31552674e
("ethernet: fix PTP_1588_CLOCK dependencies") when
PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL was added.

I used 3716a49a81ba in the Fixes tag and pushed it to hyperv-fixes.

Wei.

Oh, thank you.
