This makes RTC core components use "subsys_init" instead of "module_init", as
appropriate for subsystem infrastructure.  This is mostly useful for
statically linking drivers in other parts of the tree that may provide an RTC
interface as a secondary functionality (e.g.  part of a multifunction chip);
they won't need to worry so much about drivers/Makefile link order.

We need to serialize access to the global rtc_idr even in this error path.

Centralize CAP_SYS_XXX checks to avoid duplicate code and missing checks in

Add the basic RTC subsystem infrastructure to the kernel.

rtc/class.c - registration facilities for RTC drivers
rtc/interface.c - kernel/rtc interface functions
rtc/hctosys.c - snippet of code that copies hw clock to sw clock
		at bootup, if configured to do so.
