rtc: Fix possible null pointer dereference in rtc-mpc5121.c

Browse Source 
Mark Loard pointed out:
"For example, this beauty from rtc-mpc5121.c in the same update:
   ...
   rtc->rtc = rtc_device_register("mpc5200-rtc", &op->dev,
                                   &mpc5200_rtc_ops, THIS_MODULE);
   ...

   rtc->rtc->uie_unsupported = 1;    // <<<< Ooops NULL pointer >>>>

   if (IS_ERR(rtc->rtc)) {           // <<<< this needs to be earlier >>>>
           err = PTR_ERR(rtc->rtc);
           goto out_free_irq;
   }
   ..."

This patch moves setting the uie_unsupported flag to after we validate
the rtc->rtc pointer to resolve this.
