x86/rtc: Rewrite & simplify mach_get_cmos_time() by deleting duplicated functionality

Browse Source 
There are functions in drivers/rtc/rtc-mc146818-lib.c that handle
reading from / writing to the CMOS RTC clock. mach_get_cmos_time() in
arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c did not use them and was mostly a duplicate of
mc146818_get_time(). Modify mach_get_cmos_time() to use
mc146818_get_time() and remove the duplicated functionality.

mach_get_cmos_time() used a different algorithm than
mc146818_get_time(), but these functions are equivalent. The major
differences are:

- mc146818_get_time() is better refined and handles various edge
  conditions,

- when the UIP ("Update in progress") bit of the RTC is set,
  mach_get_cmos_time() was busy waiting with cpu_relax() while
  mc146818_get_time() is using mdelay(1) in every loop iteration.
  (However, there is my commit merged for Linux 5.20 / 6.0 to decrease
  this period to 100us:
    commit d2a632a8a117 ("rtc: mc146818-lib: reduce RTC_UIP polling period")
  ),

- mach_get_cmos_time() assumed that the RTC year is >= 2000, which
  may not be true on some old boxes with a dead battery,

- mach_get_cmos_time() was holding the rtc_lock for a long time
  and could hang if the RTC is broken or not present.

The RTC writing counterpart, mach_set_rtc_mmss() is already using
mc146818_get_time() from drivers/rtc. This was done in
        commit 3195ef59cb42 ("x86: Do full rtc synchronization with ntp")
It appears that mach_get_cmos_time() was simply forgotten.

mach_get_cmos_time() is really used only in read_persistent_clock64(),
which is called only in a few places in kernel/time/timekeeping.c .

[ mingo: These changes are not supposed to change behavior, but they are
         not identity transformations either, as mc146818_get_time() is a
	 better but different implementation of the same logic - so
	 regressions are possible in principle. ]
