Subject: [PATCH] tpm: tpm_try_transmit() refactor error flow.

First, rename out_no_locality to out_locality for bailing out on
both tpm_cmd_ready() and tpm_request_locality() failure.
Second, ignore the return value of go_to_idle() as  it may override
the return value of the actual tpm operation, the go_to_idle() error
will be caught on any consequent command.
Last, fix the wrong 'goto out', that jumped back instead of forward.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 627448e85c76 ("tpm: separate cmd_ready/go_idle from runtime_pm")
