Subject: [PATCH 4.9 095/104] rtc: set the alarm to the next expiring timer

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@...e-electrons.com>


[ Upstream commit 74717b28cb32e1ad3c1042cafd76b264c8c0f68d ]

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")
