[PATCH v3] alarmtimer: fix unexpected rtc interrupt when system resume from S3

From: zhuo-hao . lee

From: zhuo-hao <zhuo-hao.lee@xxxxxxxxx>

Before the system go to suspend (S3), if user create a timer with clockid
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM/CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM and set a "large" timeout value
to this timer. The function alarmtimer_suspend will be called to setup
a timeout value to RTC timer to avoid the system sleep over time. However,
if the system wakeup early than RTC timeout, the RTC timer will not be cleared.
And this will cause the hpet_rtc_interrupt come unexpectedly until the RTC
timeout. To fix this problem, just adding alarmtimer_resume to cancel the
RTC timer.

This was noticed because the HPET RTC emulation fires an interrupt every
16ms(=1/2^DEFAULT_RTC_SHIFT) up to the point where the alarm time is reached.
This program always hits this situation(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/8/326),
if system wake up earlier than alarm time.
