tpm_tis: Fix the probing for interrupts



This patch fixes several aspects of the probing for interrupts.

This patch reads the TPM's timeouts before probing for the interrupts. The
tpm_get_timeouts() function is invoked in polling mode and gets the proper
timeouts from the TPM so that we don't need to fall back to 2 minutes timeouts
for short duration commands while the interrupt probing is happening.

This patch introduces a variable probed_irq into the vendor structure that gets
the irq number if an interrupt is received while the the tpm_gen_interrupt()
function is run in polling mode during interrupt probing. Previously some
parts of tpm_gen_interrupt() were run in polling mode, then the irq variable
was set in the interrupt handler when an interrupt was received and execution
of tpm_gen_interrupt() ended up switching over to interrupt mode.
tpm_gen_interrupt() execution ended up on an event queue where it eventually
timed out since the probing handler doesn't wake any queues.

Before calling into free_irq() clear all interrupt flags that may have
been set by the TPM. The reason is that free_irq() will call into the probing
interrupt handler and may otherwise fool us into thinking that a real interrupt
happened (because we see the flags as being set) while the TPM's interrupt line
is not even connected to anything on the motherboard. This solves a problem
on one machine I did testing on (Thinkpad T60).

If a TPM claims to use a specifc interrupt, the probing is done as well
to verify that the interrupt is actually working. If a TPM indicates
that it does not use a specific interrupt (returns '0'), probe all interrupts
from 3 to 15.
