[PATCH] hpet-RTC: disable interrupt when no longer needed

When the emulated RTC interrupt is no longer needed, we better disable it;
otherwise, we get a spurious interrupt whenever the timer has rolled over and
reaches the same comparator value.

Having a superfluous interrupt every five minutes doesn't hurt much, but it's
bad style anyway.  ;-)
