[PATCH v4 1/5] KEYS: trusted: allow use of TEE as backend without TCG_TPM support

With recent rework, trusted keys are no longer limited to TPM as trust
source. The Kconfig symbol is unchanged however leading to a few issues:

  - TCG_TPM is required, even if only TEE is to be used
  - Enabling TCG_TPM, but excluding it from available trusted sources
    is not possible
  - TEE=m && TRUSTED_KEYS=y will lead to TEE support being silently
    dropped, which is not the best user experience

Remedy these issues by introducing two new boolean Kconfig symbols:
TRUSTED_KEYS_TPM and TRUSTED_KEYS_TEE with the appropriate
dependencies.

Any code depending on the TPM trusted key backend or symbols exported
by it will now need to explicitly state that it

  depends on TRUSTED_KEYS && TRUSTED_KEYS_TPM

The latter to ensure the dependency is built and the former to ensure
it's reachable for module builds. This currently only affects
CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_TPM_KEY_SUBTYPE, so it's fixed up here as well.

v3 -> v4:
  - rebased on top of Andreas' regression fix and pulled it back
    into series

v2 -> v3:
  - factored this patch out as a fix for backporting

v1 -> v2:
  - Move rest of TPM-related selects from TRUSTED_KEYS to
    TRUSTED_KEYS_TPM (Sumit)
  - Remove left-over line in Makefile (Sumit)
  - added Fixes: tag
  - adjust commit message to reference the regression reported
    by Andreas
  - have ASYMMETRIC_TPM_KEY_SUBTYPE depend on TRUSTED_KEYS_TPM,
    because it references global symbols that are exported
    by the trusted key TPM backend.
