rtc: m41t80: fix race conditions

The IRQ is requested before the struct rtc is allocated and registered, but
this struct is used in the IRQ handler, leading to:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000017c

genirq: exiting task "irq/48-m41t80" (613) is an active IRQ thread (irq 48)

Also, there is another possible race condition. The probe function is not
allowed to fail after the RTC is registered because the following may
happen:

CPU0:                                CPU1:
sys_load_module()
 do_init_module()
  do_one_initcall()
   cmos_do_probe()
    rtc_device_register()
     __register_chrdev()
     cdev->owner = struct module*
                                     open("/dev/rtc0")
    rtc_device_unregister()
  module_put()
  free_module()
   module_free(mod->module_core)
   /* struct module *module is now
      freed */
                                      chrdev_open()
                                       spin_lock(cdev_lock)
                                       cdev_get()
                                        try_module_get()
                                         module_is_live()
                                         /* dereferences already
                                            freed struct module* */

Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to allocate the rtc
before requesting the IRQ and register it as late as possible.
