Subject: [PATCH 5.7 079/112] tpm: ibmvtpm: Wait for ready buffer before probing for TPM2 attributes

From: David Gibson <david@...son.dropbear.id.au>

[ Upstream commit 72d0556dca39f45eca6c4c085e9eb0fc70aec025 ]

The tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl() call will result in TPM commands being issued,
which will need the use of the internal command/response buffer.  But,
we're issuing this *before* we've waited to make sure that buffer is
allocated.

This can result in intermittent failures to probe if the hypervisor / TPM
implementation doesn't respond quickly enough.  I find it fails almost
every time with an 8 vcpu guest under KVM with software emulated TPM.

To fix it, just move the tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tlb() call after the
existing code to wait for initialization, which will ensure the buffer
is allocated.
