[PATCH] RTC: Fix infinite loop in initializing the alarm.

[Ales Novak]

In __rtc_read_alarm(), if the alarm time retrieved by
rtc_read_alarm_internal() from the device contains invalid values
(e.g. month=2,mday=31) and the year not set (=-1), the initialization
will loop infinitely because the year-fixing loop expects the
time being invalid due to leap year.

Fix reduces the loop to the leap years and adds final validity check.
