rtc: remove VLA usage

In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA and replace it
with a fixed-length array instead.

>From a security viewpoint, the use of Variable Length Arrays can be
a vector for stack overflow attacks. Also, in general, as the code
evolves it is easy to lose track of how big a VLA can get. Thus, we
can end up having segfaults that are hard to debug.

Also, fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from
the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621Signed-off-by: default avatarGustavo A. R. Silva <garsilva@embeddedor.com>
