ntp: Introduce struct ntp_data

[ Upstream commit 68f66f97c5689825012877f58df65964056d4b5d ]
    
    All NTP data is held in static variables. That prevents the NTP code from
    being reuasble for non-system time timekeepers, e.g. per PTP clock
    timekeeping.
    
    Introduce struct ntp_data and move tick_usec into it for a start.
    
    No functional change.

I sent a backport of this change, which is a one liner:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/878qssr16f.ffs@tglx/
There is no point to backport the whole data struct change series for
that.
Thanks,
