[PATCH 2/2] tpm: Fix crash on tmprm release

From: Vincent Whitchurch
Date: Tue Jun 15 2021 - 05:14:30 EST


If the tpm_tis module is removed (or a system shutdown is triggered)
while the tpmrm device is use, the kernel crashes due to chip->ops being
NULL:

# exec 3<>/dev/tpmrm0
# rmmod tpm_tis
# exit
==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in tpm_chip_start+0x2d/0x120 [tpm]
Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000060 by task sh/994

Call Trace:
kasan_report.cold.13+0x10f/0x111
tpm_chip_start+0x2d/0x120 [tpm]

do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x80
==================================================================

Fix this by making tpm2_del_space() use tpm_try_get_ops(). The latter
already includes the calls to tpm_chip_start() and tpm_chip_stop().
