As has been seen recently, binding the buffer allocation and tpm_buf
together is sometimes far from optimal. The buffer might come from the
caller namely when tpm_send() is used by another subsystem. In addition we
can stability in call sites w/o rollback (e.g. power events)>

Take allocation out of the tpm_buf framework and make it purely a wrapper
for the data buffer.
