[PATCH v4 1/5] tpm: Return on tpm2_create_null_primary() failure

tpm2_sessions_init() does not ignores the result of saving the null key.
Address this by printing either TPM or POSIX error code, and returning
-ENODEV back to the caller.

Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org # v6.10+
Fixes: d2add27cf2b8 ("tpm: Add NULL primary creation")
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko at kernel.org>
---
v4:
- Fixed up stable version.
v3:
- Handle TPM and POSIX error separately and return -ENODEV always back
  to the caller.
v2:
- Refined the commit message.
