rtc: cmos: use spin_lock_irqsave in cmos_interrupt

commit 00a39d8652ff9088de07a6fe6e9e1893452fe0dd upstream.

cmos_interrupt() can be called in a non-interrupt context, such as in
an ACPI event handler (which runs in an interrupt thread). Therefore,
usage of spin_lock(&rtc_lock) is insecure. Use spin_lock_irqsave() /
spin_unlock_irqrestore() instead.

Before a misguided
commit 6950d046eb ("rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ")
the cmos_interrupt() function used spin_lock_irqsave(). That commit
changed it to spin_lock() and broke locking, which was partially fixed in
commit 13be2efc39 ("rtc: cmos: Disable irq around direct invocation of cmos_interrupt()")

That second commit did not take account of the ACPI fixed event handler
pathway, however. It introduced local_irq_disable() workarounds in
cmos_check_wkalrm(), which can cause problems on PREEMPT_RT kernels
and are now unnecessary.

Add an explicit comment so that this change will not be reverted by
mistake.
