rtc: cmos: avoid UIP when reading alarm time

Some Intel chipsets disconnect the time and date RTC registers when the
clock update is in progress: during this time reads may return bogus
values and writes fail silently. This includes the RTC alarm registers.
[1]

cmos_read_alarm() did not take account for that, which caused alarm time
reads to sometimes return bogus values. This can be shown with a test
patch that I am attaching to this patch series.

Fix this, by using mc146818_avoid_UIP().

        "If a RAM read from the ten time and date bytes is attempted
        during an update cycle, the value read do not necessarily
        represent the true contents of those locations. Any RAM writes
        under the same conditions are ignored."
