rtc, x86/mrst/vrtc: Fix boot crash in rtc_read_alarm()

Commit f44f7f96a20 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") caused a
boot regression on the MRST platform.

The reason is that rtc_device_register() calls rtc_read_alarm() after
that change, which function does not have all driver data set up yet.

The rtc-mrst driver needs to call dev_set_drvdata() before rtc_device_register()
gets called.
