tee: amdtee: fix use-after-free vulnerability in amdtee_close_session

There is a potential race condition in amdtee_close_session that may
cause use-after-free in amdtee_open_session. For instance, if a session
has refcount == 1, and one thread tries to free this session via:

    kref_put(&sess->refcount, destroy_session);

the reference count will get decremented, and the next step would be to
call destroy_session(). However, if in another thread,
amdtee_open_session() is called before destroy_session() has completed
execution, alloc_session() may return 'sess' that will be freed up
later in destroy_session() leading to use-after-free in
amdtee_open_session.

To fix this issue, treat decrement of sess->refcount and removal of
'sess' from session list in destroy_session() as a critical section, so
that it is executed atomically.
