rtc: Fix hrtimer deadlock
Ben reported a lockup related to rtc. The lockup happens due to:
CPU0 CPU1
rtc_irq_set_state() __run_hrtimer()
spin_lock_irqsave(&rtc->irq_task_lock) rtc_handle_legacy_irq();
spin_lock(&rtc->irq_task_lock);
hrtimer_cancel()
while (callback_running);
So the running callback never finishes as it's blocked on
rtc->irq_task_lock.
Use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() instead and drop rtc->irq_task_lock while
waiting for the callback. Fix this for both rtc_irq_set_state() and
rtc_irq_set_freq().
