[RFC 3/7] tee: add private login method for kernel clients

[Sumit Garg]

There are use-cases where user-space shouldn't be allowed to communicate
directly with a TEE device which is dedicated to provide a specific
service for a kernel client. So add a private login method for kernel
clients and disallow user-space to open-session using this login method.
