Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tpm: Fix crash on tmprm release

If the tpm_tis module is removed (or a system shutdown is triggered)
while the tpmrm device is use, the kernel crashes due to chip->ops being
NULL:

 # exec 3<>/dev/tpmrm0
 # rmmod tpm_tis
 # exit
 ==================================================================
 BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in tpm_chip_start+0x2d/0x120 [tpm]
 Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000060 by task sh/994

 Call Trace:
  kasan_report.cold.13+0x10f/0x111
  tpm_chip_start+0x2d/0x120 [tpm]
  tpm2_del_space+0x2c/0xa0 [tpm]

  do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x80
 ==================================================================

Fix this by making tpm2_del_space() use tpm_try_get_ops().  The latter
already includes the calls to tpm_chip_start() and tpm_chip_stop().
