James Bottomley d65aef2546 tpm_tis: Clean up locality release
commit e42acf104d6e0bd7ccd2f09103d5be5e6d3c637c upstream.

The current release locality code seems to be based on the
misunderstanding that the TPM interrupts when a locality is released:
it doesn't, only when the locality is acquired.

Furthermore, there seems to be no point in waiting for the locality to
be released.  All it does is penalize the last TPM user.  However, if
there's no next TPM user, this is a pointless wait and if there is a
next TPM user, they'll pay the penalty waiting for the new locality
(or possibly not if it's the same as the old locality).

Fix the code by making release_locality as simple write to release
with no waiting for completion.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
