[PATCH] tpm: moves the delay_msec increment after sleep in tpm_transmit()

[Nayna Jain]

Commit e2fb992d82c6 ("tpm: add retry logic") introduced a new loop to
handle the TPM2_RC_RETRY error. The loop retries the command after
sleeping for the specified time, which is incremented exponentially in
every iteration. This patch fixes the initial sleep to be the default
sleep time.
