Based on Christoph Hellwig's TPM internal kernel interface 
locking question, the following TPM changes were made: 
        - removal of the BKL calls from the TPM driver, which were
          added in the overall misc-char-dev-BKL-pushdown.patch
        - continue to protect the tpm_chip_list using the 
          driver_lock, and add an rcu to protect readers.

The TPM internal kernel interface patch will be posted as 
part of the integrity patchset.
