Rather than accessing the TPM functions using a NULL pointer, which
causes a lookup for a suitable chip every time, get a hold of a tpm_chip
and access the TPM functions using this chip. We call the tpm_chip
ima_tpm_chip and protect it, once initialization is done, using a
rw_semaphore called ima_tpm_chip_lock.

Use ima_shutdown to release the tpm_chip.

ima_add_templatE_entry() synchronizes appending a measurement to the
measurement list and extending the TPM by taking a lock. ÂDo we really
need to introduce another lock?

This lock protects the ima_tpm_chip from going from != NULL to NULL in the ima_shutdown function. Basically, a global pointer accessed by concurrent threads should be protected if its value can change. However, in this case ima_shutdown would be called so late that there shouldn't be concurrency anymore. Though, I found it better to protect it. Maybe someone else has an opinion?
