Linus Torvalds f423fc627b Revert "rtc: Expire alarms after the time is set."
This reverts commit 93b2ec0128.

The call to "schedule_work()" in rtc_initialize_alarm() happens too
early, and can cause oopses at bootup

Neil Brown explains why we do it:

  "If you set an alarm in the future, then shutdown and boot again after
   that time, then you will end up with a timer_queue node which is in
   the past.

   When this happens the queue gets stuck.  That entry-in-the-past won't
   get removed until and interrupt happens and an interrupt won't happen
   because the RTC only triggers an interrupt when the alarm is "now".

   So you'll find that e.g.  "hwclock" will always tell you that
   'select' timed out.

   So we force the interrupt work to happen at the start just in case."

and has a patch that convert it to do things in-process rather than with
the worker thread, but right now it's too late to play around with this,
so we just revert the patch that caused problems for now.
