Add driver for the vTPM defined by the AMD SVSM spec [1].

The specification defines a protocol that a SEV-SNP guest OS can use to
discover and talk to a vTPM emulated by the Secure VM Service Module (SVSM)
in the guest context, but at a more privileged level (VMPL0).

The new tpm-svsm platform driver uses two functions exposed by x86/sev
to verify that the device is actually emulated by the platform and to
send commands and receive responses.

The device cannot be hot-plugged/unplugged as it is emulated by the
platform, so we can use module_platform_driver_probe(). The probe
function will only check whether in the current runtime configuration,
SVSM is present and provides a vTPM.

This device does not support interrupts and sends responses to commands
synchronously. In order to have .recv() called just after .send() in
tpm_try_transmit(), the .status() callback returns 0, and both
.req_complete_mask and .req_complete_val are set to 0.

v4:
- moved "asm" includes after the "linux" includes [Tom]
- allocated buffer separately [Tom/Jarkko/Jason]
v3:
- removed send_recv() ops and followed the ftpm driver implementing .status,
.req_complete_mask, .req_complete_val, etc. [Jarkko]
- removed link to the spec because those URLs are unstable [Borislav]

If this was bundled with the patch set, this would short a lot:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20250326161838.123606-1-jarkko@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#u

So maybe for v5? Including this patch does not take send_recv()
out of consideration, it is just smart thing to do in all cases.

It would be probably easiest to roll out my patch together with
rest of the patch set.

Yeah, I agree. I'll include it in this series and adapt this patch on top of it.

Thanks,
Stefano
