Subject: [PATCH] rtc: report time-retrieval errors when updating alarm

__rtc_read_time() can fail (e.g., if the RTC uses an unreliable medium).
When it does, we don't report the error, but instead calculate a
1-second alarm based on the potentially-garbage 'tm' (in practice,
__rtc_read_time() zeroes out the time first, so it's likely to still be
all 0).

Let's propagate the error instead.
