This fixes a couple of different problems, that can cause RTC (alarm)
irqs to be missing when generating UIE interrupts.
The first commit fixes a long-standing problem, which has been
documented in a comment since 2010. This fixes a race that could cause
UIE irqs to stop being generated, which was easily reproduced by
timing the use of RTC_UIE_ON ioctl with the seconds tick in the RTC.
The last commit ensures that RTC (alarm) irqs are enabled whenever
RTC_UIE_ON ioctl is used.
The driver specific commits avoids kernel warnings about unbalanced
enable_irq/disable_irq, which gets triggered on first RTC_UIE_ON with
the last commit. Before this series, the same warning should be seen
on initial RTC_AIE_ON with those drivers.
