Fix Smatch-detected issue:

drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:208 tpm_buf_read_u8() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:225 tpm_buf_read_u16() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:242 tpm_buf_read_u32() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.

Zero-initialize the return values in tpm_buf_read_u8(),
tpm_buf_read_u16(), and tpm_buf_read_u32() to guard against
uninitialized data in case of a boundary overflow.

Add defensive initialization ensures the return values are
always defined, preventing undefined behavior if the unexpected
happens.
