Stefan Berger d8d74ea3c0 tpm: ibmvtpm: Wait for buffer to be set before proceeding
Synchronize with the results from the CRQs before continuing with
the initialization. This avoids trying to send TPM commands while
the rtce buffer has not been allocated, yet.

This patch fixes an existing race condition that may occurr if the
hypervisor does not quickly respond to the VTPM_GET_RTCE_BUFFER_SIZE
request sent during initialization and therefore the ibmvtpm->rtce_buf
has not been allocated at the time the first TPM command is sent.

Fixes: 132f762947 ("drivers/char/tpm: Add new device driver to support IBM vTPM")

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.
