    tpm: crb: check the error bit only after taking locality
    
    tpmcrb_transmit() read CRB_CTRL_STS before requesting locality 0.
    An AMD Pluton fTPM (like FrameWork Desktop) using the plain CRB start method
    reads the control area as all-ones until locality is assigned, so bit 0 looks
    like a stuck tpmSts and every command failed with EIO.
    
    With RANDOM_ENABLE_TPM the harvester retries every 10 seconds, so this printed
    "Device has Error bit set" forever.
