[ Upstream commit 8027bc0307ce59759b90679fa5d8b22949586d20 ]

If user passed an interface option longer than 15 characters, then
device.ifr_name and hwtstamp.ifr_name became non-null-terminated
strings. The compiler warned about this:

timestamping.c:353:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 16 equals \
destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  353 |  strncpy(device.ifr_name, interface, sizeof(device.ifr_name));

Fixes: cb9eff097831 ("net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets")

commit 3d2c86e3057995270e08693231039d9d942871f0 upstream.

Remove networking from Documentation Makefile to move the test to
selftests. Update networking/timestamping Makefile to work under
selftests. These tests will not be run as part of selftests suite
and will not be included in install targets. They can be built and
run separately for now.

This is part of the effort to move runnable code from Documentation.
