Subject: [PATCH] tpm: Fix kexec crash due to access to ops NULL pointer (powerpc)

Fix the following crash on kexec by checking chip->ops for a NULL pointer
in tpm_chip_start() and returning an error code if this is the case.

BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000060
Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000099a06c
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

The referenced patch below introduced a function to shut down the VIO bus.
The bus shutdown now calls tpm_del_char_device (via tpm_chip_unregister)
after a call to tpm_class_shutdown, which already set chip->ops to NULL.
The crash occurrs when tpm_del_char_device calls tpm_chip_start with the
chip->ops NULL pointer.

Fixes: 39d0099f9439 ("powerpc/pseries: Add shutdown() to vio_driver and vio_bus")
