rtc: Only call rtc_set_cmos when Register B SET flag is disabled.
This bug occurs when the SET flag of Register B is enabled. When an RTC
data register (i.e. any of the ten time/calender CMOS bytes) is set, the
data is (as expected) correctly stored in the cmos_data array. However,
since the SET flag is enabled, the function rtc_set_time is not invoked.
As a result, the field base_rtc in RTCState remains uninitialized. This
causes a problem on subsequent writes which can end up overwriting data.
To see this, consider writing data to Register A after having written
data to any of the RTC data registers; the following figure illustrates
the call stack for the Register A write operation:
+- cmos_io_port_write
+-- check_update_timer
+---- get_next_alarm
+------ rtc_update_time
In rtc_update_time, get_guest_rtc calculates the wrong time and
overwrites the previously written RTC data register values.
