Subject: [PATCH] rtc: cmos: initialize rtc time when reading alarm

cmos_read_alarm() may leave certain fields of a struct rtc_time
untouched; therefore, these fields contain garbage if not properly
initialized, leading to inconsistent values when converting into
time64_t.
This patch to set all fields of a struct rtc_time to -1 before calling
cmos_read_alarm().
