This patch fixes two issues introduced with commit 0b6cf6b97b7e ("tpm: pass
an array of tpm_extend_digest structures to tpm_pcr_extend()").

It initializes the algorithm in init_digests() for trusted keys, and moves
the algorithm check in tpm_pcr_extend() before locks are taken in
tpm_find_get_ops().

The changelog is missing. You should place it right after these three
dashes before diffstat. So, why did you do v2?

I don't see any description of the two issues. The commit messages
goes on explaining right away what this patch does. Would be nice
to have one paragraph describing both of the issues at first before
striving into solutions.

Also, the granularity should be one patch per one issue so this will
require two patches in total.
Actually taking my words back as far as the last paragraph goes. Since
the fixes tag is the same I'm cool with one patch as long as the commit
message describes better what you're doing and why.
