x86: Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock
The EFI specification requires that callers of the time related runtime functions serialize with other CMOS accesses in the kernel, as the EFI time functions may choose to also use the legacy CMOS RTC. Besides fixing a latent bug, this is a prerequisite to safely enable the rtc-efi driver for x86, which ought to be preferred over rtc-cmos on all EFI platforms.
