[PATCH] rtc_cmos oops fix
Fix an oops on the rtc_device_unregister() path by waiting until the last
moment before nulling the rtc->ops vector. Fix some potential oopses by
having the rtc_class_open()/rtc_class_close() interface increase the RTC's
reference count while an RTC handle is available outside the RTC framework.
