Concurrent accesses to the tpm chip are prevented by allowing only a
single thread at a time to obtain a tpm chip reference through
tpm_try_get_ops(). However, the tpm's suspend function does not use
this mechanism, so when the tpm api is called by a kthread which
does not get frozen on suspend (such as the hw_random kthread)
it's possible that the tpm is used when already in suspend, or
in use while in the process of suspending.

This is seen on certain ChromeOS platforms - low-probability warnings
are generated during suspend. In this case, the tpm attempted to read data
from a tpm chip on an already-suspended bus.

  i2c_designware i2c_designware.1: Transfer while suspended

Fix:
1. prevent concurrent execution of tpm accesses and suspend/
   resume, by letting suspend/resume grab the tpm_mutex.
2. before commencing a tpm access, check if the tpm chip is already
   suspended. Fail with -EAGAIN if so.

Tested by running 6000 suspend/resume cycles back-to-back on a
ChromeOS "brya" device. The intermittent warnings reliably
disappear after applying this patch. No system issues were observed.
