Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] tpm: add send_recv() op in tpm_class_ops

Some devices do not support interrupts and provide a single operation
to send the command and receive the response on the same buffer.

To support this scenario, a driver could set TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ in the
chip's flags to get recv() to be called immediately after send() in
tpm_try_transmit(), or it needs to implement .status() to return 0,
and set both .req_complete_mask and .req_complete_val to 0.

In order to simplify these drivers and avoid temporary buffers to be
used between the .send() and .recv() callbacks, introduce a new callback
send_recv(). If that callback is defined, it is called in
tpm_try_transmit() to send the command and receive the response on
the same buffer in a single call.
