[PATCH 3/4] tpm: in tpm2_del_space check if ops pointer is still valid

From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx>

In tpm2_del_space() the sessions are flushed by means of the tpm_chip
operations. However the concerning operations pointer my already be NULL at
this time in case that the chip has been unregistered (see
tpm_chip_unregister() which calls tpm_del_char_device() which sets
chip->ops to NULL).
Avoid the NULL pointer access by first calling tpm_try_get_ops() to check
if the operations pointer is still valid and skipping the session flushing
in case of an unregistered chip.
