[PATCH v4 4/6] tpm, tpm_tis: avoid CPU cache incoherency in irq test

[Lino Sanfilippo]

From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx>

The interrupt handler that sets irq_tested to indicate that interrupts are
working may run on another CPU than the thread that checks this variable in
tmp_tis_send().

Since no synchronization is used to access irq_tested, there is no
guarantee for cache coherency between the CPUs, so that the value set by
the interrupt handler might not be visible to the testing thread.

Avoid this issue by using a bitfield instead of a boolean variable and by
accessing this field with bit manipulating functions that guarantee cache
coherency.
