4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 10d0c768cc6d581523d673b9d1b54213f8a5eb24 ]

The IRQ is requested before the struct rtc is allocated and registered, but
this struct is used in the IRQ handler, leading to:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000017c
pgd = a38a2f9b

---[ end trace 22b027302eb7c604 ]---
genirq: exiting task "irq/48-m41t80" (613) is an active IRQ thread (irq 48)

Also, there is another possible race condition. The probe function is not
allowed to fail after the RTC is registered because the following may
happen:

CPU0: CPU1:
sys_load_module()
do_init_module()
do_one_initcall()
cmos_do_probe()
rtc_device_register()
__register_chrdev()
cdev->owner = struct module*
open("/dev/rtc0")
rtc_device_unregister()
module_put()
free_module()
module_free(mod->module_core)
/* struct module *module is now
freed */
chrdev_open()
spin_lock(cdev_lock)
cdev_get()
try_module_get()
module_is_live()
/* dereferences already
freed struct module* */

Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to allocate the rtc
before requesting the IRQ and register it as late as possible.
