Subject: tpm_tis: Clean up force module parameter

Drive the force=1 flow through the driver core. There are two main reasons to do this:
 1) To enable tpm_tis for OF environments requires a platform_device anyhow, so
    the force_device needs to be re-used for them.
 2) Recent changes in the core code break the assumption that a driver will be
    'attached' to things created through platform_device_register_simple,
    which causes the tpm core to blow up.
