4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com>

commit 13b47cfcfc60495cde216eef4c01040d76174cbe upstream.

While cleaning up sysfs callback that prints EK we discovered a kernel
memory leak. This commit fixes the issue by zeroing the buffer used for
TPM command/response.

The leak happen when we use either tpm_vtpm_proxy, tpm_ibmvtpm or
xen-tpmfront.
