It's not really possible because of the init issue with checking the
interrupt.  That originally had no locking at all (it doesn't need any
because the TPM device isn't publicly exposed at the point the check is
done).  If the patch to add get/put around the tpm2_get_tpm_pt is
acceptable, then perhaps we could because I think that's the last
unguarded use of tpm_tis_status.
