Subject: [PATCH] tpm: handle negative priv->response_len in tpm_common_read

The priv->responce_length can hold the size of an response or
an negative error code, and the tpm_common_read() needs to handle
both cases correctly. Changed the type of responce_length to
signed and accounted for negative value in tpm_common_read()
