[PATCH v3 4/7] tpm: flush the null key only when /dev/tpm0 is accessed

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Tue Sep 17 2024 - 11:50:44 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.

This removes the need to load and swap the null key between TPM and
regular memory per transaction, when the user space is not using the
chip.

Tested-by: Pengyu Ma <mapengyu@xxxxxxxxx>

v3:
- Unchanged.
v2:
- Refined the commit message.
- Added tested-by from Pengyu Ma <mapengyu@xxxxxxxxx>.
- Removed spurious pr_info() statement.
