rtc: interface: Alarm race handling should not discard preceding error

Commit 795cda8338ea ("rtc: interface: Fix long-standing race when setting
alarm") should not discard any errors from the preceding validations.

Prior to that commit, if the alarm feature was disabled, or the
set_alarm failed, a meaningful error code would be returned to the
caller for further action.

After, more often than not, the __rtc_read_time will cause a success
return code instead, misleading the caller.

An example of this is when timer_enqueue is called for a rtc-abx080x
device. Since that driver does not clear the alarm feature bit, but
instead relies on the set_alarm operation to return invalid, the discard
of the return code causes very different behaviour; i.e.
    hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out
