[PATCH] tpm: TPM 2.0 selftest performance improvement

For selftest being run in the background, the TCG 2.0 Specification
provides the command TPM2_GetTestResult to check the status of selftest
completion.

When the partial selftest command is sent just after TPM initialization,
it is observed that it returns RC_COMMAND_CODE error, which as per TPM 2.0
Specification, indicates "the response code that is returned if the TPM is
unmarshalling a value that it expects to be a TPM_CC and the input value is
not in the table." This doesn't indicate the exact status of selftest
command on TPM. But, it can be verified by sending the TPM2_GetTestResult.

This patch implements the TPM2_GetTestResult command and uses it to check
the selftest status, before sending the full selftest command after partial
selftest returns RC_COMMAND_CODE.

With this change, dmesg shows the TPM selftest completed at 1.243864
compared with the previous 1.939667 time.
