[PATCH v3 0/3] Address !chip->auth

Unless tpm2_sessions_init() is called, then chip->auth ends up being a null
pointer, which is ignored by authenticated sessions code. These patches aim
to fully address the bug, and hopefully still make into 6.10-rc7.

Tested on x86-64 with:

- TCG_TPM2_HMAC disabled.
- TCG_TPM2_HMAC enabled.
- TCG_TPM2_HMAC enabled, and "/* rc = tpm2_sessions_init(chip); */".

For drivers that do not initialize with tpm2_chip_bootstrap(), the lack of
auth sessions is reported once per power cycle by:

"tpm tpm0: auth session is not active"

This is expected output for the following drivers:

* tpm_ftpm_tee.c
* tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c
* tpm_ibmvtpm.c
* tpm_tis_i2c_cr50.c
* tpm_vtpm_proxy.c

They need to later on enable auth sessions, if they eager to. This
patch set only fixes any collateral damage of not doing so.

v3
* Address:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/922603265d61011dbb23f18a04525ae973b83ffd.camel@HansenPartnership.com/
* Git: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git/log/?h=auth-null-3
* Did a full QA run given the changes in config flag handling.

v2:
* Rebase to commit 8a9c6c40432e ("Merge tag 'io_uring-6.10-20240703' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux").
* Couple of cosmetic fixes.
