From: Tadeusz Struk <tadeusz.struk@xxxxxxxxx> commit a430e67d9a2c62a8c7b315b99e74de02018d0a96 upstream. The priv->response_length can hold the size of an response or an negative error code, and the tpm_common_read() needs to handle both cases correctly. Changed the type of response_length to signed and accounted for negative value in tpm_common_read().
