[PATCH 4/4] tpm: flush the session null key only when required

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Sun Sep 15 2024 - 14:05:58 EST


Instead of flushing and reloading the null key for every single auth
session, flush it only when:

1. User space needs to access /dev/tpm{rm}0.
2. When going to sleep.
3. When unregistering the chip.
