PATCH v2 2/13 net/ena/base: fix race in PHC destroy

ena_com_phc_get_timestamp() checked phc->active and cached the resp pointer from ena_dev->phc.virt_addr before acquiring the PHC spinlock, so neither the liveness check nor the pointer read was serialised against teardown.

If ena_com_phc_destroy() runs in that window it clears active, releases the lock, frees the PHC DMA memory and sets virt_addr to NULL. The reader then dereferences either a pointer to already freed memory or a NULL virt_addr, depending on where it was preempted, crashing the application on PHC teardown or device reconfiguration.

Move the phc->active check and the resp pointer assignment inside the spinlock so that destroy cannot free the DMA memory while a timestamp read is in progress.

Fixes f73f53f7dc7a ("net/ena: upgrade HAL")
