6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Mateusz Jończyk mat.jonczyk@o2.pl
commit 00a39d8652ff9088de07a6fe6e9e1893452fe0dd upstream.
cmos_interrupt() can be called in a non-interrupt context, such as in an ACPI event handler (which runs in an interrupt thread). Therefore, usage of spin_lock(&rtc_lock) is insecure. Use spin_lock_irqsave() / spin_unlock_irqrestore() instead.
Before a misguided commit 6950d046eb6e ("rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ") the cmos_interrupt() function used spin_lock_irqsave(). That commit changed it to spin_lock() and broke locking, which was partially fixed in commit 13be2efc390a ("rtc: cmos: Disable irq around direct invocation of cmos_interrupt()")
That second commit did not take account of the ACPI fixed event handler pathway, however. It introduced local_irq_disable() workarounds in cmos_check_wkalrm(), which can cause problems on PREEMPT_RT kernels and are now unnecessary.
Add an explicit comment so that this change will not be reverted by mistake.
