t480/t480s: Disable TPM2 to mitigate SeaBIOS lag
SeaBIOS was lagging a lot, on startup and when executing
almost any payload, especially when doing anything in the
ESC menu.
I set the debug level to *21*, and thoroughly analysed the
logs. I found entries such as this:

Mapping hd drive 0x000f49e0 to 0
I'm not quite certain what the problem is, but disabling TPM2
made the problem go away; SeaBIOS is snappy again.
TPM is security threatre anyway.
