[PATCH] rtc: mxc_v2: fix clock-unprepare race with the still-live alarm IRQ

remove() unprepares the clock, but the alarm IRQ is devm-managed and
only actually freed after remove() returns -- so it's still live while
the clock is unprepared. If it fires in that window,
mxc_rtc_interrupt() calls clk_enable() on an unprepared clock.

Free the IRQ explicitly in remove(), before touching the clock, so it
can't fire during or after the unprepare.
