[PATCH v3 14/16] rtc: utilize new cdev_device_add helper function

Mostly straightforward, but we had to remove the rtc_dev_add/del_device
functions as they split up the cdev_add and the device_add.
Doing this also revealed that there was likely another subtle bug:
seeing cdev_add was done after device_register, the cdev probably
was not ready before device_add when the uevent occurs. This would
race with userspace, if it tried to use the device directly after
the uevent. This is fixed just by using the new helper function.
