Subject: [PATCH] rtc-dev: stop periodic interrupts on device release

Solves http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11127

The old rtc.c driver did it, some drivers (like rtc-sh) do it in their release
function too, but rtc-cmos does not -- because it provides the irq_set_state
op -- so the rtc framework itself should care about it. This patch makes it do
so.

I am aware that some drivers, like rtc-sh, handle userspace PIE sets in their
ioctl op, exporting the irq_set_state op at the same time. The logic in
rtc_irq_set_state should make sure it doesn't matter and the driver should not
need to care stopping periodic interrupts in its release routine any more.
I did not look at other drivers though.
