keys/trusted/tpm2: Validate TPM2_Create object sizes separately

This commit updates trusted key creation to validate TPM2_Create object
sizes separately from the complete response area. It also adopts scope-based
cleanup to simplify resource management.

[Severity: Low]
Does this function mix goto-based error handling with scope-based cleanup?

Looking at tpm2_seal_trusted() in security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm2.c, 
it defines resources using scope-based cleanup:

	struct tpm_buf *buf __free(kfree) = NULL;
	struct tpm_buf *sized __free(kfree) = NULL;

But the function still uses goto labels for TPM operations cleanup:

out:
	if (!rc)
		payload->blob_len = blob_len;

out_put:
	tpm_put_ops(chip);
	return tpm_ret_to_err(rc);

The cleanup subsystem guidelines expect that usage of goto and cleanup
helpers are never mixed in the same function.

Could the remaining goto labels in tpm2_seal_trusted() be converted to
scope-based cleanup to avoid mixing paradigms?
