Subject: [PATCH] rtc: set the alarm to the next expiring timer

If there is any non expired timer in the queue, the RTC alarm is never set.
This is an issue when adding a timer that expires before the next non
expired timer.

Ensure the RTC alarm is set in that case.

Fixes: 2b2f5ff00f63 ("rtc: interface: ignore expired timers when enqueuing new timers")
