Subject: tpm: fix: set continueSession attribute for the unseal operation

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <[email protected]>

commit c0b5eed110dcf520aadafefbcc40658cbdd18b95 upstream.

It's better to set the continueSession attribute for the unseal operation so that the session object is not removed as a side-effect when the operation is successful. Since a user process created the session, it should be also decide when the session is destroyed.
