rtc: efi: use correct EFI 'epoch'
The rtc-efi driver declares that the EFI 'epoch' is 1/1/1998, but the UEFI spec does not define it at all. It does define a range of [1900, 9999] for the 'Year' member of the EFI_TIME struct, so let's use 1900 as the minimum year and not 1998. Also, move the validation of the year to the convert_from_efi_time() routine where all other EFI_TIME fields are validated as well. This prevents rtc_read_time() failures when the RTC that backs the EFI time services is set to a date before 1998, e.g., when it has lost power. This also optimizes the compute_wday() routine, by replacing the for loop with a simple arithmetic expression, and by reusing the yearday value that we need to compute anyway when populating the rtc_time::tm_yday field.
