x86/hpet: Fix /dev/rtc breakage caused by RTC cleanup

Ville Syrjälä reports "The first time I run hwclock after rebooting
I get this:

 open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY)              = 3
 ioctl(3, PHN_SET_REGS or RTC_UIE_ON, 0) = 0
 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
 ioctl(3, PHN_NOT_OH or RTC_UIE_OFF, 0)  = 0
 close(3)                                = 0

On all subsequent runs I get this:

 open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY)              = 3
 ioctl(3, PHN_SET_REGS or RTC_UIE_ON, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
 ioctl(3, RTC_RD_TIME, 0x7ffd76b3ae70)   = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
 close(3)                                = 0"

This was caused by a stupid typo in a patch that should have been
a simple rename to move around contents of a header file, but
accidentally wrote zeroes into the rtc rather than reading from
it:
