[PATCH] rtc: fix reported IRQ rate for when HPET is enabled.

[PATCH] rtc: fix reported IRQ rate for when HPET is enabled.

[Paul Gortmaker]

The IRQ rate reported back by the RTC is incorrect when
HPET is enabled.

Newer hardware that has HPET to emulate the legacy RTC
device gets this value wrong since after it sets the
rate, it returns before setting the variable used to
report the IRQ rate back to users of the device -- so
the set rate and the reported rate get out of sync.
