Subject: [PATCH] TPM: update char dev BKL pushdown

This patch removes the BKL calls from the TPM driver, which
were added in the overall misc-char-dev-BKL-pushdown.patch,
as they are not needed. Changed num_opens from an int to atomic_t.

Yes, this patch is good.

It would also be good to rename num_opens. Note that it is always
either 0 or 1, and indicates whether someone has opened the chip.
So 'is_open' may make more sense.

Mimi is also working on a patch (on top of this one) to use rcu
to protect chip->list, and that patch will (I hope) include an
explanation of all of the locking/protection involved.

And use atomic_set() instead of atomic_inc().
