Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Have IMA find and use a tpm_chip until system shutdown

This series of patches converts IMA's usage of the tpm_chip to find a TPM
chip initially and use it until the machine is shut down. To do this we need
to introduce a kref for the tpm_chip that IMA and all other users of a
tpm_chip hold onto until they don't need the TPM chip anymore.

    Stefan

Stefan Berger (6):
  tpm: Introduce a kref for the tpm_chip
  tpm: Get additional kref with every call to tpm_try_get_ops()
  tpm: Implement tpm_chip_find() for other subsystems to call
  ima: Implement ima_shutdown and register it as a reboot_notifier
  ima: Use tpm_chip_find() and access TPM functions using it
  ima: Get rid of ima_used_chip and use ima_tpm_chip != NULL instead
