rtc: ds1307: Enable the mcp794xx alarm after programming time

Alarm interrupt enable register is at offset 0x7, while the time
registers for the alarm follow that. When we program Alarm interrupt
enable prior to programming the time, it is possible that previous
time value could be close or match at the time of alarm enable
resulting in interrupt trigger which is unexpected (and does not match
the time we expect it to trigger).

To prevent this scenario from occuring, program the ALM0_EN bit only
after the alarm time is appropriately programmed.

Ofcourse, I2C programming is non-atomic, so there are loopholes where
the interrupt wont trigger if the time requested is in the past at
the time of programming the ALM0_EN bit. However, we will not have
unexpected interrupts while the time is programmed after the interrupt
are enabled.
