Subject: [PATCH v4] x86/rtc: Remove __init for runtime functions

set_rtc_noop, get_rtc_noop are used runtime, therefore need init removed.
Crash was observed on x86 platform where cmos rtc is unused and disabled
via device tree. Function was triggered from ntp: sync_hw_clock, although
CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC=n, however sync_cmos_clock doesn't honour that.

  Workqueue: events_power_efficient sync_hw_clock
  RIP: 0010:set_rtc_noop
  Call Trace:
   update_persistent_clock64
   sync_hw_clock

Fix by dropping __init and making set/get_rtc_noop available runtime.

Fixes: c311ed6183f4 ("x86/init: Allow DT configured systems to disable RTC at boot time")
