Subject: [PATCH v9 15/19] tpm: Make locality requests return consistent values

From: "Daniel P. Smith" <dpsmith@...rtussolutions.com>

The function tpm_tis_request_locality() is expected to return the locality
value that was requested, or a negative error code upon failure. If it is called
while locality_count of struct tis_data is non-zero, no actual locality request
will be sent. Because the ret variable is initially set to 0, the
locality_count will still get increased, and the function will return 0. For a
caller, this would indicate that locality 0 was successfully requested and not
the state changes just mentioned.

Additionally, the function __tpm_tis_request_locality() provides inconsistent
error codes. It will provide either a failed IO write or a -1 should it have
timed out waiting for locality request to succeed.

This commit changes __tpm_tis_request_locality() to return valid negative error
codes to reflect the reason it fails. It then adjusts the return value check in
tpm_tis_request_locality() to check for a non-negative return value before
incrementing locality_cout. In addition, the initial value of the ret value is
set to a negative error to ensure the check does not pass if
__tpm_tis_request_locality() is not called.
