rtc: sunxi: fix possible race condition

alexandrebelloni · alexandrebelloni · commit 29615d03ccc0 · 2018-06-04T14:36:14.000+02:00
The IRQ is requested before the struct rtc is allocated and registered, but
this struct is used in the IRQ handler. This may lead to a NULL pointer
dereference.

Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to allocate the rtc
before requesting the IRQ.
