[PATCH 2/2] tpm: tpm_crb_ffa: maunally register tpm_crb_ffa driver when it's built-in

To integrate tpm_event_log with IMA subsystem,
tpm_crb and tpm_crb_ffa driver should be built as built-in
(CONFIG_TCG_CRB=y && CONFIG_TCG_CRB_FFA=y).

However, this could make failure for ima_init() gets tpm chip when
each initcall function deployed like:

0000000000000888 l       .initcall6.init	0000000000000000 crb_acpi_driver_init
000000000000088c l       .initcall6.init	0000000000000000 tpm_crb_ffa_driver_init

If crb_api_driver_init() is called first, probing tpm device using CRB over
FFA method is deferred since tpm_crb_ffa_driver_init() isn't called yet.

Deferred probe of the tpm device will be probed by system workqueue
in proper time after deferred_probe_initcall() registers the work.
However, ima_init() could be called first if they're deployed like:

000000000000012c l       .initcall7.init	0000000000000000 init_ima
000000000000016c l       .initcall7.init	0000000000000000 deferred_probe_initcall7

In this situation, ima_init() failed to find tpm device and it failed to
generate boot_aggregate with PCR values.

That's why kernel prints log this situation though tpm device exists:
   [    3.080786] ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!

To resolve this, call ffa_register() in tpm_crb_ffa_init() when it was
built with built-in so that ima can generate boot_aggregate log with
PCR values properly.
