[PATCH] tpm_tis: fix stall after iowrite*()s

ioread8() operations to TPM MMIO addresses can stall the cpu when
immediately following a sequence of iowrite*()'s to the same region.

For example, cyclitest measures ~400us latency spikes when a non-RT
usermode application communicates with an SPI-based TPM chip (Intel Atom
E3940 system, PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel). The spikes are caused by a
stalling ioread8() operation following a sequence of 30+ iowrite8()s to
the same address. I believe this happens because the write sequence is
buffered (in cpu or somewhere along the bus), and gets flushed on the
first LOAD instruction (ioread*()) that follows.

The enclosed change appears to fix this issue: read the TPM chip's
access register (status code) after every iowrite*() operation to
amortize the cost of flushing data to chip across multiple instructions.
