[PATCH] rtc: fix use of uninit struct in rtc_read_alarm_internal

From: Bharadwaj Raju
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 15:02:21 EST


The trace call invokes rtc_tm_to_time64 on a
potentially uninitialized alarm->time. Move the
trace call to the path where we do successfully
initialize and read that struct.

This fixes a KMSAN warning.

Fixes: 29a1f599c0cc ("rtc: Add tracepoints for RTC system")
