Only using the message type and sequence id for matching timestamps with
packets is error prone, particularly if packets can be reordered. Fix by
extending the check to include the hash of bytes 20-29 (source id in PTPv2)
that is provided with the timestamps.

The example of reordered packets is bogus, since the sequence numbers
are not affected.  The one case that benefits from the hash check is
when the port is in the master role and multiple clients send
Delay_Req messages all with the same sequence number by chance.

This could use a macro instead of magic 20.

Thanks,
Richard
