Michael Chang 30708dfe3b tpm: Disable the tpm verifier if the TPM device is not present
When the tpm module is loaded, the verifier reads entire file into
memory, measures it and uses verified content as a backing buffer for
file accesses. However, this process may result in high memory
utilization for file operations, sometimes causing a system to run out
of memory which may finally lead to boot failure. To address this issue,
among others, the commit 887f98f0d (mm: Allow dynamically requesting
additional memory regions) have optimized memory management by
dynamically allocating heap space to maximize memory usage and reduce
threat of memory exhaustion. But in some cases problems may still arise,
e.g., when large ISO images are mounted using loopback or when dealing
with embedded systems with limited memory resources.

Unfortunately current implementation of the tpm module doesn't allow
elimination of the back buffer once it is loaded. Even if the TPM device
is not present or it has been explicitly disabled. This may unnecessary
allocate a lot memory. To solve this issue, a patch has been developed
to detect the TPM status at module load and skip verifier registration
if the device is missing or deactivated. This prevents allocation of
memory for the back buffer, avoiding wasting memory when no real measure
boot functionality is performed. Disabling the TPM device in the system
can reduce memory usage in the GRUB. It is useful in scenarios where
high memory utilization is a concern and measurements of loaded
artifacts are not necessary.
