[v3,0/2] tpm: Resolve potential blocking-forever issue

Message

In case swtpm was to return a control channel message with an error code it
would often return less bytes than the full response. In some cases the
current reading of the returned bytes would get stuck since more bytes are
expected. Therefore, pass a separate parameter indicating how many bytes to
expect in case of an error and read that many bytes in a first pass. Check
for an error code in the first 4 bytes. Read the rest in a 2nd pass.

v3:
  - 2/2: Pass size of return response for error as parameter

v2:
  - 2/2: Added special handling of CMD_GET_STATEBLOB
