KEYS: trusted: Fix incorrect handling of tpm_get_random()
commit 5df16caada3fba3b21cb09b85cdedf99507f4ec1 upstream.
When tpm_get_random() was introduced, it defined the following API for the
return value:
1. A positive value tells how many bytes of random data was generated.
2. A negative value on error.
However, in the call sites the API was used incorrectly, i.e. as it would
only return negative values and otherwise zero. Returning he positive read
counts to the user space does not make any possible sense.
Fix this by returning -EIO when tpm_get_random() returns a positive value.
