[PATCH v6 2/5] tpm: Implement tpm2_load_null() rollback

[Jarkko Sakkinen]

tpm2_load_null() has weak and broken error handling:

- The return value of tpm2_create_primary() is ignored.
- Leaks TPM return codes from tpm2_load_context() to the caller.
- If the key name comparison succeeds returns previous error
  instead of zero to the caller.

Implement a proper error rollback.

v6:
- Address Stefan's remark:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/def4ec2d-584b-405f-9d5e-99267013c3c0@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v5:
- Fix the TPM error code leak from tpm2_load_context().
v4:
- No changes.
v3:
- Update log messages. Previously the log message incorrectly stated
  on load failure that integrity check had been failed, even tho the
  check is done *after* the load operation.
v2:
- Refined the commit message.
- Reverted tpm2_create_primary() changes. They are not required if
  tmp_null_key is used as the parameter.
