The tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl() call will result in TPM commands being issued,
which will need the use of the internal command/response buffer. But,
we're issuing this *before* we've waited to make sure that buffer is
allocated.
This can result in intermittent failures to probe if the hypervisor / TPM
implementation doesn't respond quickly enough. I find it fails almost
every time with an 8 vcpu guest under KVM with software emulated TPM.
To fix it, just move the tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tlb() call after the
existing code to wait for initialization, which will ensure the buffer
is allocated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
