[LTP] [PATCH 2/3] rtc02: reset backward 1 hour to RTC time

If there's a limit on how much backward time can be set to RTC,
rtc02 easily get an EINVAL error as well. (Note: that limitation
may enforced by the host or by EFI firmware)

  rtc02.c:70: TFAIL: ioctl() RTC_SET_TIME: EINVAL (22)
  tst_rtctime.c:116: TWARN: open(/dev/rtc,0,21042104211) failed: EBUSY (16)
  tst_wallclock.c:117: TWARN: tst_rtc_settime() realtime failed: EBADF (9)

To show the problem by manually performing `hwclock -w`.

  # date -s "2020-10-09 13:23:30"
  Fri Oct  9 13:23:30 EDT 2020
  # hwclock -w
  hwclock: ioctl(RTC_SET_TIME) to /dev/rtc0 to set the time failed: Invalid argument

If just go with a few days backwards things work:

  # date -s "2022-03-12 13:23:30"
  Sat Mar 12 13:23:30 EST 2022
  # hwclock -w
  # echo $?
  0

To be on the safe side, here reset backward +/-1 hour (in case of zero clock).
