Set tx_type to HWTSTAMP_TX_ON to enable hardware timestamping for all
outgoing packets.

Besides, set XDP_UMEM_TX_METADATA_LEN flag to reserve tx_metadata_len bytes
of per-chunk metadata.

Sure. I will add the fixes tag and submit with "PATCH bpf" prefix
in next version.

I am testing on stmmac and igc drivers.
You are right, stmmac needs it for hwts_tx_en check.
Besides, igc needs it to set IGC_RING_FLAG_TX_HWTSTAMP flag.

Without this patch, user will need to manually enable tx hwts using
command: sudo hwstamp_ctl -i eth0 -t 1 -r 1
after start xdp_hw_metadata.

Therefore, adding HWTSTAMP_TX_ON is not a bug fix solution.
I will separate this as another new patch to "PATCH bpf-next"
and provide detail in commit message.

Btw, is mlx5 driver always enable Tx HWTS?

I don't remember doing anything special to enable it. And looking at
the code I also don't see any conditionals on HWTSTAMP_TX_ON.
