[PATCH v3 2/4] rtc/lib: Introduce rtc_tm_sub() helper function

[Xunlei Pang]

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@xxxxxxxxxx>

There're many sites need comparing the two rtc_time variants for many
rtc drivers, especially in the instances of rtc_class_ops::set_alarm().

So add this common helper function to make things easy.

v2->v3:
Respin rtc_tm_subtract() to rtc_tm_sub() using "static inline".
