[PATCH RESEND 2/2] tpm-interface: Fix checks of buffer size

Alexander Steffen <Alexander.Steffen-d0qZbvYSIPpWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>
Newsgroups net.sourceforge.lists.tpmdd-devel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
bufsiz contains the length of the buffer, whereas bufvalid contains the
number of valid bytes within the buffer. Therefore, bufvalid should be used
as a limit when reading from the buffer and bufsize when writing to it.
