oops - yeah, removed its usage based on Alessandro's feedback but
forgot to remove the def. removed now.

yes, i'm using the one in rtclib now, but forgot to remove the local

I copied their usage from the efirtc driver, into which it was
recently pushed down with a request for an EFI expert to clear them
out as necessary. I'm not an EFI expert, but I took a look at the
spec, and section 7.1 of the UEFI spec does say that certain EFI
runtime call sets are not reentrant. I would expect to see that
locking handled internally in the efi layer, but I'm not seeing it.
Since the RTC layer is serializing these calls for us, and we appear
to be the only callers of these functions[1], it looks like it would
be safe to drop the BKL and not introduce other locking. Though, it
may make sense to add locking internally to each of the efi runtime
calls to comform to the spec, just in case this changes.

[1] efirtc calls them too, of course, but it is Kconfig'd off when
RTC_CLASS is on
