pm: Ensure exclusive userspace access when using /dev/tpm<n>

I hit a problem where ~ 1% of TPM firmware upgrades were failing. Investigating revealed the issue was that although the upgrade tool uses /dev/tpm0 this does not actually prevent access via /dev/tpmrm0, nor internal kernel users. It *does* prevent access to others via /dev/tpm0

So the upgrade process started, the HW RNG came in to get some randomness in the middle, did the HMAC context dance, and confused everything to the point the TPM was no longer visible to the OS even after a reboot.

Thankfully I've been able to recover those devices, but really what I'd like is the ability for a userspace tool to exclusively access the TPM without something coming in behind it. Given the lightweight attempt at locking that already exists I think this was the original intention.

I've reworked this series based on feedback received.

Firstly, it's been reordered TPM sharing functionality doesn't break during bisection.

Secondly, the O_EXCL check has been tightend up to ensure the caller is also opening the device O_RDWR. Callers shouldn't really be opening the TPM except for reading + writing, but this should help guard against unexpected flags usage a bit more.

Finally, this revision keeps the prohibition on more than one user of /dev/tpm#, to avoid unexpected breakages for clients that expect this to guard against multiple invocations. A client only then needs to use O_EXCL if it wants to prevent *all* other access, even with ContextSaves, such as the firmware upgrade case.

(I've sent a separate standalone patch that allows the TPM HW RNG to be disabled at run time, and it's now in -next, but even with that I think something like this is a good idea as well.)
