[RFC 03/10] powerpc/rtas-rtc: convert get-time-of-day to rtas_force_spin_if_busy()

The functions in rtas-rtc which call get-time-of-day can be invoked in
boot, suspend, and resume paths with interrupts off. Unfortunately
get-time-of-day can return an extended delay status, so we use
rtas_force_spin_if_busy().

In the specific case of rtas_get_rtc_time(), it is not clear why
returning an incorrect result is better than calling again even if we
are in interrupt context. Remove this logic.
