That's really not a good idea, you should keep counts local to the
structures they're counting, not elsewhere.

tpm_buf->handles counts the number of handles present in the command
encoded in a particular tpm_buf.  Right at the moment we only ever
construct one tpm_buf per tpm (i.e. per tpm_chip) at any one time, so
you can get away with moving handles into tpm_chip.  If we ever
constructed more than one tpm_buf per chip, the handles count would
become corrupted.
