Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] rtc: Adjust failure return code for cmos_set_alarm()

When mc146818_avoid_UIP() fails to return a valid value, this is because
UIP didn't clear in the timeout period. Adjust the return code in this
case to -ETIMEDOUT.

Fixes: cd17420ebea5 ("rtc: cmos: avoid UIP when writing alarm time")
