Subject: [PATCH 5.2 259/313] alarmtimer: Use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOTSUPP

From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@...onical.com>

commit f18ddc13af981ce3c7b7f26925f099e7c6929aba upstream.

ENOTSUPP is not supposed to be returned to userspace. This was found on an
OpenPower machine, where the RTC does not support set_alarm.

On that system, a clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, ...) results in
"524 Unknown error 524"

Replace it with EOPNOTSUPP which results in the expected "95 Operation not
supported" error.

Fixes: 1c6b39ad3f01 (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present)
