[PATCH] tpm: enable HMAC encryption for only x86-64 and aarch64

Let's be more conservative and enable HMAC by default only for the
platforms where it immediately makes sense, i.e. x86-64 and aarch64.
This can be relaxed later on, and obviously the kconfig option can be
set even if not default on a particular arch.
