Do not continue tpm2_sessions_init() further if the null key pair creation
fails.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.10+
Fixes: d2add27cf2b8 ("tpm: Add NULL primary creation")
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>
---
v8:
- Refine commit message.
v7:
- Add the error message back but fix it up a bit:
  1. Remove 'TPM:' given dev_err().
  2. s/NULL/null/ as this has nothing to do with the macro in libc.
  3. Fix the reasoning: null key creation failed
v6:
- Address:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/69c893e7-6b87-4daa-80db-44d1120e80fe@linux.ibm.com/
  as TPM RC is taken care of at the call site. Add also the missing
  documentation for the return values.
v5:
- Do not print klog messages on error, as tpm2_save_context() already
  takes care of this.
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.

Thanks, patch are applied to

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git/log/?h=next

I will amend these with any further changes (such as tags).

BR, Jarkko
