tpm: ibmvtpm: retry on H_CLOSED in tpm_ibmvtpm_send()



commit eba5cf3d upstream.

tpm_ibmvtpm_send() can fail during PowerVM Live Partition Mobility resume
with an H_CLOSED return from ibmvtpm_send_crq().  The PAPR says, 'The
"partner partition suspended" transport event disables the associated CRQ
such that any H_SEND_CRQ hcall() to the associated CRQ returns H_Closed
until the CRQ has been explicitly enabled using the H_ENABLE_CRQ hcall.'
This patch adds a check in tpm_ibmvtpm_send() for an H_CLOSED return from
ibmvtpm_send_crq() and in that case calls tpm_ibmvtpm_resume() and
retries the ibmvtpm_send_crq() once.
