Getting the timeouts cannot complete before the TPM emulator has started,
which in turn cannot start before the ioctl returns. We don't know whether
user space starts a client first on /dev/tpm1 or the TPM emulator starts
first on the file descriptor. We can control which command gets *queued*
for the TPM emulator and that's what I am doing by having the kernel queue
the startup command first.
I moved the start of the work call before the tpm_chip_register, so that
we *queue* the TPM_Startup before user space can send its first command.

That may become a problem then.
