Subject: [PATCH RESEND v3 3/7] rtc-mc146818-lib: extract mc146818_do_avoiding_UIP

Function mc146818_get_time() contains an elaborate mechanism of reading
the RTC time while no RTC update is in progress. It turns out that
reading the RTC alarm clock also requires avoiding the RTC update (see
following patches). Therefore, the mechanism in mc146818_get_time()
should be reused - so extract it into a separate function.

The logic in mc146818_do_avoiding_UIP() is same as in
mc146818_get_time() except that after every

        if (CMOS_READ(RTC_FREQ_SELECT) & RTC_UIP) {

there is now "mdelay(1)".

To avoid producing an unreadable diff, mc146818_get_time() will be
refactored to use mc146818_do_avoiding_UIP() in the next patch.
