[PATCH v3 2/2] tpm: ibmvtpm: Avoid error message when process gets signal while waiting

When rngd is run as root then lots of these types of message will appear
in the kernel log if the TPM has been configured to provide random bytes:

[ 7406.275163] tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_recv: error -4

The issue is caused by the following call that is interrupted while
waiting for the TPM's response.

sig = wait_event_interruptible(ibmvtpm->wq,
(ibmvtpm->tpm_status & TPM_STATUS_BUSY) == 0);

Rather than waiting for the response in the low level driver, have it use
the polling loop in tpm_try_transmit() that uses a command's duration to
poll until a result has been returned by the TPM, thus ending when the
timeout has occurred but not responding to signals and ctrl-c anymore. To
stay in this polling loop extend tpm_ibmvtpm_status() to return
TPM_STATUS_BUSY for as long as the vTPM is busy. Since the loop requires
the TPM's timeouts, get them now using tpm_get_timeouts() after setting
the TPM2 version flag on the chip.

To recreat the resolved issue start rngd like this:

sudo rngd -r /dev/hwrng -t
sudo rngd -r /dev/tpm0 -t
