Subject: tpm_tis: Check return values from get_burstcount.

From: Josh Zimmerman <[email protected]>

commit 26a137e31ffe6fbfdb008554a8d9b3d55bd5c86e upstream.

If the TPM we're connecting to uses a static burst count, it will report a burst count of zero throughout the response read. However, get_burstcount assumes that a response of zero indicates that the TPM is not ready to receive more data. In this case, it returns a negative error code, which is passed on to tpm_tis_{write,read}_bytes as a u16, causing them to read/write far too many bytes.

This patch checks for negative return codes and bails out from recv_data and tpm_tis_send_data.
