Subject: [PATCH v4] tpm: Mask TPM RC in tpm2_start_auth_session()

tpm2_start_auth_session() does not mask TPM RC correctly from the callers:

[   28.766528] tpm tpm0: A TPM error (2307) occurred start auth session

Process TPM RCs inside tpm2_start_auth_session(), and map them to POSIX
error codes.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # v6.10+
Fixes: 699e3efd6c64 ("tpm: Add HMAC session start and end functions")
Reported-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/Z_NgdRHuTKP6JK--@gondor.apana.org.au/
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@...nel.org>

v4:
- tpm_to_ret()
v3:
- rc > 0
v2:
- Investigate TPM rc only after destroying tpm_buf.
