__rtc_read_time() can fail (e.g., if the RTC uses an unreliable medium). When it does, we don't report the error, but instead calculate a 1-second alarm based on the potentially-garbage 'tm' (in practice, __rtc_read_time() zeroes out the time first, so it's likely to still be all 0). Let's propagate the error instead.
