rtc: Initialized rtc_time->tm_isdst
Even though the Linux kernel does not use the tm_isdst field, it is
exposed as part of the ABI. This field can accidentally be left
initialized, which is why we currently memset buffers returned to
userland in rtc_read_time.
There is a case however where the field can return garbage from the
stack though when using the RTC_ALM_READ ioctl on the rtc device. This
ioctl invokes rtc_read_alarm, which is careful to memset the rtc_wkalrm
buffer that is copied to userland, but it then uses a struct copy to
assign to alarm->time given the return value from rtc_ktime_to_tm().
rtc_ktime_to_tm() is implemented by calling rtc_time_to_tm using a
derivative seconds counds from ktime, but rtc_time_to_tm does not assign
a value to ->tm_isdst. This results in garbage from rtc_ktime_to_tm()'s
frame ending up being copied out to userland as part of the returned
rtc_wkalrm.
Fix this by initializing rtc_time->tm_isdst to 0 in rtc_time_to_tm.
