Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] tpm: Remove tpm_find_get_ops

From: Jonathan McDowell <noodles@...a.com>

tpm_find_get_ops() looks for the first valid TPM if the caller passes in
NULL. All internal users have been converted to either associate
themselves with a TPM directly, or call tpm_default_chip() as part of
their setup. Remove the no longer necessary tpm_find_get_ops().
