tpm: fix compat 'ppi' link handling in tpm_chip_register()
__compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() was unconditionally called for TPM1 chips, which caused crash on Acer C720 laptop where DSM for the ACPI object did not exist. There are two reasons for unwanted behavior: * The code did not check whether __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() returned -ENOENT. This is OK. It just meanst that ppi is not available. * The code did not clean up properly. Compat link should added only after all other init is done. This patch sorts out these issues.
