Revert "rtc: Disable the alarm in the hardware"

This reverts commit d2aa4282921363616aaf6a6f4814fbd11f30ee49.

It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in
(for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after
shutdown.

There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people,
but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try
again in the next merge window.

See for example
