Subject: [PATCH 44/61] ALSA: snd_rtctimer: handle RTC interrupts with a tasklet

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: <[email protected]>

The calls to rtc_control() from inside the interrupt handler can
deadlock the RTC code, so move our interrupt handling code to a tasklet.
