[PATCH] rtc-efi: check for invalid data coming back from UEFI

[Jan Beulich]

In particular seeing zero in eft->month is problematic, as it results
in -1 (converted to unsigned int, i.e. yielding 0xffffffff) getting
passed to rtc_year_days(), where the value gets used as an array index
(normally resulting in a crash). This was observed with the driver
enabled on x86 on some Fujitsu system (with possibly not up to date
firmware, but anyway).

Perhaps efi_read_alarm() should not fail if neither enabled nor pending
are set, but the returned time is invalid?
