pps: Simplify capture and event processing

Use local variables for the captured timehand and timecounter in pps_event().
This fixes a potential issue in the nsec preparation for hardpps().  Here the
timecounter was accessed through the captured timehand after the generation was
checked.

Make a snapshot of the relevent timehand values early in pps_event().  Check
the timehand generation only once during the capture and event processing.  Use
atomic_thread_fence_acq() similar to the other readers.
