Subject: [PATCH] tpm: Revert "tpm: fix invalid locking in NONBLOCKING mode"

This reverts commit d23d12484307b40eea549b8a858f5fffad913897.

This commit has caused regressions for the XPS 9560 containing
a Nuvoton TPM.

As mentioned by the reporter all TPM2 commands are failing with:
  ERROR:tcti:src/tss2-tcti/tcti-device.c:290:tcti_device_receive()
  Failed to read response from fd 3, got errno 1: Operation not permitted

The reporter bisected this issue back to this commit which was
backported to stable as commit 4d6ebc4.
