tpm2_sessions_init() does not ignore the result of
tpm2_create_null_primary(). Address this by returning -ENODEV to the
caller. Given that upper layers cannot help healing the situation
further, deal with the TPM error here by
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v6.10+
Fixes: d2add27cf2b8 ("tpm: Add NULL primary creation")

v6:
- Address:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/69c893e7-6b87-4daa-80db-44d1120e80fe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
as TPM RC is taken care of at the call site. Add also the missing
documentation for the return values.
v5:
- Do not print klog messages on error, as tpm2_save_context() already
takes care of this.
v4:
- Fixed up stable version.
v3:
- Handle TPM and POSIX error separately and return -ENODEV always back
to the caller.
v2:
- Refined the commit message.
