[PATCH v2] tpm: check selftest status before retrying full selftest

As per the TCG Specification[1][2], RC_COMMAND_CODE indicates that the TPM
command is not implemented or not supported. When RC_COMMAND_CODE is
returned in response to the partial selftest, this is not the case. TPM 2.0
supports TPM2_GetTestResult[3], which can be used to check the selftest
status before sending the full selftest command.

This patch implements the tpm2_get_selftest_result function to check the
selftest status when partial selftest returns RC_COMMAND_CODE.

This change results in finishing of the selftest much earlier compared to
the existing case where full selftest is immediately sent to retry. The
Pi's dmesg shows: the TPM selftest completed at 1.243864 secs compared
with the previous timestamp of 1.939667 secs.

[1] As per the TCG Specification, Trusted Platform Module Library,
Part 2 - Structures, Section 6.6.3 and Section 4.18:

"RC_COMMAND_CODE indicates the response code that is returned if the TPM is
unmarshalling a value that it expects to be a TPM_CC and the input value is
not in the table."

[2] As per the TCG Specification, Trusted Platform Module Library,
Part 2 - Commands, Section 5.2:

"The TPM shall successfully unmarshal a TPM_CC and verify that the command
is implemented (TPM_RC_COMMAND_CODE)."

[3] As per the TCG Specification, Trusted Platform Module Library,
Part 2 - Commands, Section 10.4:

"This command(TPM2_GetTestResult) returns manufacturer-specific information
regarding the results of a self-test and an indication of the test status."
