Determine the TPM version once in the seal and unseal paths and reuse it
when allocating and parsing trusted key options. This avoids redundant TPM

Probably "bool is_tpm2" would be better here. It does not need to be
tightly coupled with the tristate acquired from tpm_is_tpm2.


Makes sense.
Sure, I will make this change and send out v2.
