Subject: [PATCH 02/11] alarmtimer: Avoid unexpected rtc interrupt when system resume from S3

From: zhuo-hao <zhuo-hao.lee@...el.com>

Before the system go to suspend (S3), if user create a timer
with clockid CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM/CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM and set a
"large" timeout value to this timer. The function
alarmtimer_suspend will be called to setup a timeout value to
RTC timer to avoid the system sleep over time. However, if the
system wakeup early than RTC timeout, the RTC timer will not be
cleared. And this will cause the hpet_rtc_interrupt come
unexpectedly until the RTC timeout. To fix this problem, just
adding alarmtimer_resume to cancel the RTC timer.

This was noticed because the HPET RTC emulation fires an
interrupt every 16ms(=1/2^DEFAULT_RTC_SHIFT) up to the point
where the alarm time is reached.

This program always hits this situation
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/8/326), if system wake up earlier
than alarm time.
