TPM: Zero buffer whole after copying to userspace
Commit 3321c07ae5068568cd61ac9f4ba749006a7185c9 correctly clears the TPM buffer if the user specified read length is >= the TPM buffer length. However, if the user specified read length is < the TPM buffer length, then part of the TPM buffer is left uncleared.
