Patch is valid only for 2.6.23.x, guessing from the recent arch/ changes
in 2.6.24-rc.
set_rtc_mmss() was used to be called from interrupt context in 2.6.22,
however in 2.6.23, it is called from a timer context, where interrupts
are enabled. This patch ensures that rtc_interrupt() won't dead-lock
with set_rtc_mmss().
