[PATCH 5/7] HPET-RTC: disable interrupt when no longer needed

[Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>]

When the emulated RTC interrupt is no longer needed, we better disable
it; otherwise, we get a spurious interrupt whenever the timer has
rolled over and reaches the same comparator value.

Having a superfluous interrupt every five minutes doesn't hurt much,
but it's bad style anyway.  ;-)
