[PATCH] tpm: Use -EPERM as fallback error code in tpm_ret_to_err

[PATCH] tpm: Use -EPERM as fallback error code in tpm_ret_to_err

[Jarkko Sakkinen]

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@opinsys.com>

Using -EFAULT here was not the best idea for tpm_ret_to_err as the fallback
error code as it is no concise with trusted keys.

Change the fallback as -EPERM, process TPM_RC_HASH also in tpm_ret_to_err,
and by these changes make the helper applicable for trusted keys.

I slightly prefer the `case TPM2_RC_SUCCESS` but I don't have a strong 
opinion.

If we want to remove the `case TPM2_RC_SUCCESS`, can we just merge this 
condition with the if on top, I mean:

	if (ret <= 0)
		return ret;

nit: since `blob_len` is not accessed anymore in the error path, can we 
avoid to set it to 0 when declaring it?

Thanks,
Stefano

I can cope with this i.e. revert back, it's not really part of the scope
and was totally intentional
