ptp: Remove 'default y' for VMCLOCK PTP device
The VMCLOCK device gives support for accurate timekeeping even across live migration, unlike the KVM PTP clock. To help ensure that users can always use ptp_vmclock where it's available in preference to ptp_kvm, set it to 'default PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK' instead of 'default y'.

This driver adds support for using a virtual precision clock
advertised by the hypervisor. This clock is only useful in virtual
machines where such a device is present.
+ Unlike the KVM virtual PTP clock, the VMCLOCK device offers support
+ for reliable timekeeping even across live migration. So this driver
+ is enabled by default whenever the KVM PTP clock is.
+
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp_vmclock.
