[PATCH] alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't exist

[kosaki . motohiro]

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide
on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008)

Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However it is incorrect.

Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and clock_getres
should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid. This is significant
different from timer_create API.

This patch fixes it.
