rtc: Keep system awake until all expired RTC timers are handled
Current implementation of RTC interface allows for system suspend to occur in the following cases: (a) if a timer is set in the past and rtc_timer_do_work() is scheduled to handle it, and (b) if rtc_timer_do_work() is called to handle expired timers whose handlers implement a preemption point. A pending suspend request may be honoured in the above cases causing timer handling to be delayed until after the next resume. This is undesirable since timer handlers may have time-critical code to execute. This patch makes sure that the system stays awake until all expired timers are handled. Note that all calls to pm_stay_awake() are eventually paired with the single pm_relax() call in rtc_timer_do_work(), which is launched using schedule_work().
