rtc: remove VLA usage
In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA and replace it with a fixed-length array instead. >From a security viewpoint, the use of Variable Length Arrays can be a vector for stack overflow attacks. Also, in general, as the code evolves it is easy to lose track of how big a VLA can get. Thus, we can end up having segfaults that are hard to debug. Also, fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
