With the Intel 82527EI (driver: e1000e) there is an issue when running
the ptpd2 program, that leads to a kernel oops.
The reason is here that in e1000_xmit_frame() a work queue will be
scheduled that has not been initialized in this case.
The work queue "tx_hwstamp_work" will only be initialized if
adapter->flags & FLAG_HAS_HW_TIMESTAMP set.
This check is missing in e1000_xmit_frame().

The following patch adds the missing check.

OK, but this time you forgot your sign-off. :-)

WBR, Sergei
