Chengfeng Ye 5e2d672280 KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM teardown ordering
trusted_tpm_exit() drops the TPM chip reference and frees the digest
array before unregistering the trusted key type. key_type_lookup()
holds key_types_sem for reading until the key operation finishes, while
unregister_key_type() takes it for writing. It therefore provides the
synchronization point that must precede backend teardown.

The current order permits this interleaving:

  CPU 0                              CPU 1
  trusted_tpm_exit()                 key_type_lookup("trusted")
    put_device(&chip->dev)             trusted_tpm_seal()
    kfree(digests)                       pcrlock()
    unregister_key_type()                  tpm_pcr_extend(..., digests)

CPU 1 can consequently dereference the freed digest array. The chip can
also be released before callbacks stop using it.

KASAN reported:

Move unregister_key_type() before releasing either resource. This stops
new lookups and waits for in-flight key operations to finish before the
backend state is destroyed.
