When I tested this patch in my machine, it seemed that ACPI NVS was
saved after TPM CRB driver sent "TPM2_Shutdown(STATE)" to the fTPM
while suspending. Then, ACPI NVS was restored while resuming.
After resuming, PCRs didn't change and TPM2 tools such as
tpm2_pcrlist, tpm2_extend, tpm2_getrandoms worked well.
So, according to my test result, it seems that the patch doesn't
create bugs and race during resume.
