Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tpm: fix a kernel memory leak in tpm-sysfs.c

While cleaning up sysfs callback that prints EK we discovered a kernel
memory leak. This commit fixes the issue by zeroing the buffer used for
TPM command/response.

The leak happen when we use either tpm_vtpm_proxy, tpm_ibmvtpm or
xen-tpmfront.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
