First, rename out_no_locality to out_locality for bailing out on both tpm_cmd_ready() and tpm_request_locality() failure. Second, ignore the return value of go_to_idle() as it may override the return value of the actual tpm operation, the go_to_idle() error will be caught on any consequent command. Last, fix the wrong 'goto out', that jumped back instead of forward.
