[RFCv2 PATCH] tpm: return a TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE response if command isn't implemented

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

According to the TPM Library Specification, a TPM device must do a command
header validation before processing and return a TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE code
if the command is not implemented.

So user-space will expect to handle the response cods as error. But if the
in-kernel resource manager is used (/dev/tpmrm?), an -EINVAL errno code is
returned instead if the command isn't implemented. This confuses userspace
since it doesn't expect that error value.

This also isn't consistent with the behavior when not using TPM spaces and
accessing the TPM directly (/dev/tpm?). In this case, the command is sent
to the TPM even when implemented and userspace gets an error from the TPM.

Instead of returning an -EINVAL errno code when the tpm_validate_command()
function fails, synthesize a TPM command response so userspace can get a
TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE as expected when a chip doesn't implement the command.

Changes since RFCv1:
- Don't send not validated commands to the TPM, instead return a synthesized
  response with the correct TPM return code (suggested by Jason Gunthorpe).
