PATCH 1/1 tpm: End any active auth session before shutdown
From: Jonathan McDowell <[email protected]>
Lazy flushing of TPM auth sessions can interact badly with IMA + kexec, resulting in loaded session handles being leaked across the kexec and not cleaned up. Fix by ensuring any active auth session is ended before the TPM is told about the shutdown, matching what is done when suspending.

Gentle poke about this patch, which I haven't seen any feedback for. It's causing us a problem in terms of having a string of kexecs result in the kernel no longer being able to talk to the TPM with an HMAC session, and the rng random data fetches from the TPM then failing.

Sorry, this was unintentional!
I applied the patch to my master branch now.
