ACPI: /proc/acpi/alarm parsing: handle large numbers properly

Browse source

In function acpi_system_write_alarm in file drivers/acpi/sleep/proc.c,
big sec, min, hr, mo, day and yr are counted twice to get reasonable
values, that is very superfluous, we can do that only once.

In additon, /proc/acpi/alarm can set a related value which can be
specified as YYYY years MM months DD days HH hours MM minutes SS
senconds, it isn't a date, so you can specify as +0000-00-00 96:00:00
, that means 3 days later, current code can't handle such a case.

This patch removes unnecessary code and does with the aforementioned
situation.
