Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] tpm: Return on tpm2_create_primary() failure in tpm2_load_null()

tpm2_load_null() ignores the return value of tpm2_create_primary().
Further, it does not heal from the situation when memcmp() returns zero.

Address this by returning on failure and saving the null key if there
was no detected interference in the bus.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # v6.10+
Fixes: eb24c9788cd9 ("tpm: disable the TPM if NULL name changes")
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@...nel.org>

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.
