[PATCH] rtc-mc146818-lib: fix locking in mc146818_set_time

[Mateusz Jończyk]

In mc146818_set_time(), CMOS_READ(RTC_CONTROL) was performed without the
rtc_lock taken, which is required for CMOS accesses. Fix this.

Nothing in kernel modifies RTC_DM_BINARY, so a separate critical section
is allowed here.
