[include <linux/mc146818rtc.h> to get the extern spinlock decl.]

I just looked at pre18 and there are 2 other cases where the rtc lock
should be deployed - those being in the floppy driver, and in the nvram
driver.

As an added bonus you get a fixed nvram driver that no longer does
get/put_user from within a cli() region.

Paul.
