Oops, needs to be dropped from this.

We either need to git revert 441b7152729f ("tpm: Use managed allocation
for bios event log") OR alternatively use devm_add_action() creating a
fix that wastes 16 MiB of memory and obfuscates flows more than needed.

I don't necessarily get how come this is "less intrusive"...
