rtc: remove BKL for ioctl()

Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework.

Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used.  That's the same lock that already
protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported
rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ...  making this a bugfix, not
just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ
enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule
do not provide on their own).

A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes
current locking rules.  It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed
there should exist ...  if not, those are pre-existing problems which can
be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.
