Subject: [PATCH 2/2] RTC: Properly handle rtc_read_alarm error propagation and fix bug

In reviewing cases where the virtualized interfaces didn't propagate
errors properly, I noticed rtc_read_alarm needed fixing. In doing
so I noticed my RTC rework dropped a memset and that the behavior
of rtc_read_alarm shouldn't be conditionalized on the alarm.enabled
flag (as the alarm may be set, but the irqs may be disabled). So
those were corrected as well.
