[PATCH v4 04/10] tpm: Get rid of module locking

[Stefan Berger <stefanb-23VcF4HTsmIX0ybBhKVfKdBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org>]

Now that the tpm core has strong locking around 'ops' it is possible
to remove a TPM driver, module and all, even while user space still
has things like /dev/tpmX open. For consistency and simplicity, drop
the module locking entirely.
