Subject: char: tpm: Add missing error check for devm_kzalloc

commit bb95cd34ba4c9467114acc78eeddd53ab1c10085 upstream.

Currently these driver are missing a check on the return value of devm_kzalloc,
which would cause a NULL pointer dereference in a OOM situation.

This patch adds a missing check for tpm_i2c_atmel.c and tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c
