[ Upstream commit 32d495b384a2db7d23c2295e03e6b6edb1c0db8d ]

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.
