Reordering in the Linux network stack's receive path is an inevitable
consequence of the following factors put together:
- multi-queue network devices
- SMP systems
- skb_defer_rx_timestamp
- work queues to process the delayed work of collecting RX timestamps

Even with careful flow-steering rules and 1-to-1 queue-to-CPU affinity,
all ordering guarantees are lost because the work queues may not
necessarily run on the same CPU that they were scheduled from.

>From an application socket's perspective, it may happen from time to
time that follow-up messages are delayed and received not 1 sync message
too late, but 2 sync messages too late (or more). This skew between sync
and follow-up sequence numbers then persists throughout the socket's
life time. See below (debug statements added by me):

  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_SYNC: FUP_MATCH: seqid 17341
  port_syfufsm: SF_EMPTY: SYNC_MISMATCH: new seqid 17342
  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_SYNC: SYNC_MISMATCH: last_syncfup seqid 17342 new seqid 
17343
  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_SYNC: SYNC_MISMATCH: last_syncfup seqid 17343 new seqid 
17344
  process_follow_up: event FUP_MISMATCH, syfu SF_HAVE_SYNC last sync fup seqid 
17344, this fup seqid 17342
  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_SYNC: FUP_MISMATCH: last_syncfup seqid 17344 new seqid 
17342
  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_FUP: SYNC_MISMATCH: last_syncfup seqid 17342 new seqid 
17345
  process_follow_up: event FUP_MISMATCH, syfu SF_HAVE_SYNC last sync fup seqid 
17345, this fup seqid 17343
  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_SYNC: FUP_MISMATCH: last_syncfup seqid 17345 new seqid 
17343
  port_syfufsm: SF_HAVE_FUP: SYNC_MISMATCH: last_syncfup seqid 17343 new seqid 
17346

The above is just an example. Theoretically any form of reordering can
happen. But ptp4l currently only considers the 'simple' case: it only
follows the latest sequenceId and treats the case where the follow-up
has arrived before the sync.

But more complex cases of reordering throw off the ptp4l synchronization
process completely and irreversibly - in the case of the frame sequence
described above, the FSM never recovers and ends in a livelock.

So let's generalize the handling of reordered messages:
- Keep the sync and follow-up frames in two separate queues
- When processing a new sync or follow-up frame, find the newest and
  oldest sequence number that is currently queued (waiting for its pair)
  from the sync and the follow-up queues.
- If the oldest sequence number of the sync and of the follow-up frame
  is the same, then it can be consumed (fed into the servo). Otherwise,
  do nothing further during this iteration.
- Frames can actually get lost too, not just reordered. So don't keep
  them queued indefinitely, but just drop all sequence numbers that are
  more than N (configurable) older than the newest sequence number.

This rework also happens to make the check_fup_sync global config option
(sanity-check the sync and follow-up frames by software timestamp, not
by sequence number) useless, so that has been removed. We need to decide
what we trust more: the software timestamp or the sequence number, and
this patch is all about trusting the latter over the former.

So this raises the concern about how long to even queue the frames
before deeming them as lost. Depending on the logSyncInterval specified
by the profile, the sync frames can be sent once per second or a lot
quicker. So buffering 4 sync and 4 follow-up frames may not necessarily
be a good thing when it means that it can incur a worst-case latency in
response of 8 seconds, followed by a sudden burst of 7 commands fed into
the servo. However, this might make more sense at shorter sync
intervals, depending on the network, etc.

So a new port config option was introduced, called
sync_follow_up_history, with a default of 0 that keeps the same behavior
as what was previously intended (and which nobody apparently complained
about). So how does this solve the live lock? It doesn't:

ptp4l[7502.451]: rms    4 max    8 freq +17765 +/-   8 delay   489 +/-   1
ptp4l[7504.474]: rms    4 max   10 freq +17764 +/-   9 delay   489 +/-   1
ptp4l[7504.912]: Tail-dropping sync 12899 due to reordering
ptp4l[7504.914]: Tail-dropping follow-up 12899 due to reordering
ptp4l[7504.944]: Tail-dropping sync 12900 due to reordering
ptp4l[7504.975]: Tail-dropping sync 12901 due to reordering
ptp4l[7504.977]: Tail-dropping follow-up 12900 due to reordering
ptp4l[7505.007]: Tail-dropping sync 12902 due to reordering

The (important) differences are that:
- The user at least now *knows* what is going on. Previously the only
  behavior was that ptp4l was silently dropping frames and
  synchronization halted. This is still pretty much fatal even with this
  patch, as long as the network keeps pushing frame sequences as above,
  but right now it is much more verbose.
- The user has a knob to turn to fix this: increase
  sync_follow_up_history while striking an acceptable balance with
  logSyncInterval.
