This is unnecessary change and technically it is not a rename: the
commit message text and the code change do not match. Rename is just
a rename (i.e. change a variable name foo to bar).
I'm renaming the label because it doesn't match the code flow anymore,
I can change the commit message, but you please review the code.

The flow change is unnecessary and does not really have anything to do with
the bug fix.
What I see in the original code is that when
tpm_cmd_ready() fails it's jumps to 'out' label and trying to do tpm_go_idle()
but instead it should just undoing the locality, so both cmd_read and go idle had a wrong
jump. I see both should be fixed.
Earlier version was better than this and would have been fine
when taking account the remark from Jason.
So you are doing tpm_cmd_ready() change in order to prevent unnecessary
call to tpm_go_idle() that was previously i.e. before when that function
failed in jumped to out and called tpm_go_idle()?
This should be probably split into two commits if I understood right. You
did not have this updated mentioned in a changelog (there was no
changelog).
Have you checked that if these were separate commits they would have the
same fixes line? Why not use the label name 'out' as the same label
handles bot 'locality' and 'no_locality'?
