Right, the extra time comes from probably null key creation, even though
tpm2_do_selftest() does not itself invoke tpm2_start_auth_session().
If you don't want that to happen, then you should disable
CONFIG_TCG_TPM2_HMAC but also bus encrypted sessions to trusted keys
random number generation and PCR extension.
