Move testing part to the stuff before diffstat.

Please do not use "we ...". Use imperative form.

Also that is wrong place for the description:

Do not use ternary operators. Also we are interested on
TPM_SELFTESTFAILED only (according to the commit message).

I.e. afaik should be

	if (rc) {
		if (rc == TPM_SELFTESTFAILED)
			return -ENODEV;
		else
			return rc;
	}

You don't need to remove the goto-statement. You could just
replace the existing condition with what I described above.
This is patch is doing changes that are not mandatory for
the change.
