commit 5d8e2971e817bb64225fc0b6327a78752f58a9aa upstream.
In tpm_bios_measurements_open(), get_device() is called on the device embedded in struct tpm_chip. In the error path, however, put_device() is not called. This results in a reference count leak, which prevents the device from being properly released. This commit makes sure to call put_device() when the seq_open() call fails.
