It has been reported that some TIS based TPMs are giving unexpected errors when using the O_NONBLOCK path of the TPM device. The problem is that some TPMs don't like it when you get and then relinquish a locality (as the tpm_try_get_ops()/tpm_put_ops() pair does) without sending a command. This currently happens all the time in the O_NONBLOCK write path. Fix this by moving the tpm_try_get_ops() further down the code to after the O_NONBLOCK determination is made. This is safe because the priv->buffer_mutex still protects the priv state being modified.
