Subject: [PATCH RESEND 5/6] x86/rtc: mach_get_cmos_time - rm duplicated code

There are functions in drivers/rtc/rtc-mc146818-lib.c that handle
reading from / writing to the CMOS RTC clock. mach_get_cmos_time() in
arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c did not use them and was mostly a duplicate of
mc146818_get_time(). Modify mach_get_cmos_time() to use
mc146818_get_time() and remove the duplicated code.

mach_get_cmos_time() used a different algorithm than
mc146818_get_time(), but these functions are equivalent. The major
differences are:

- mc146818_get_time() is better refined: it was updated in
  commit 05a0302c3548 ("rtc: mc146818: Prevent reading garbage")
  to take account of various edge conditions,

- when the UIP ("Update in progress") bit of the RTC is set,
  mach_get_cmos_time() was busy waiting with cpu_relax() while
  mc146818_get_time() is now using udelay(100) in every loop iteration,

- mach_get_cmos_time() assumed that the RTC year must be >= 2000, which
  may not be true on some old boxes with a dead battery.

The RTC writing counterpart, mach_set_rtc_mmss() is already using
mc146818_get_time() from drivers/rtc. This was done in
        commit 3195ef59cb42 ("x86: Do full rtc synchronization with ntp")
It appears that mach_get_cmos_time() was simply forgotten.
