[PATCH v2] tpm: Remove ineffective wmb() from tpm_pm_resume()

The comment above the wmb() in tpm_pm_resume() states that the barrier
guarantees TPM_CHIP_FLAG_SUSPENDED is written last, so that hwrng does
not activate before the chip has been fully resumed.  It cannot do so:
it is placed after the store that clears the flag, and therefore does
not order the preceding resume work before that store.  It also has
nothing to pair with, as tpm_try_get_ops() contains no matching read
barrier.

Drop the barrier along with the comment rather than leave a no-op
behind.  Should such ordering turn out to be needed, it would require
paired barriers or locking.
