drivers/rtc: correct error-handling code
This code is not executed before ds1307->rtc has been successfully
initialized to the result of calling rtc_device_register. Thus the test
that ds1307->rtc is not NULL is always true.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x = rtc_device_register(...)
... when != x = E
(
* if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
|
* if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2
)
// </smpl>
