rtc-cmos: avoid spurious irqs

This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-cmos, in two ways:

  - When HPET is stealing the IRQs, use the first IRQ to grab
    the seconds counter which will be monitored (instead of
    using whatever was previously in that memory);

  - In sane IRQ handling modes, scrub out old IRQ status before
    enabling IRQs.

That latter is done by tightening up IRQ handling for rtc-cmos everywhere,
also ensuring that when HPET is used it's the only thing triggering IRQ
reports to userspace; net object shrink.

Also fix a bogus HPET message related to its RTC emulation.
