Fix Smatch-detected error: drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:208 tpm_buf_read_u8() error: uninitialized symbol 'value'. drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:225 tpm_buf_read_u16() error: uninitialized symbol 'value'. drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:242 tpm_buf_read_u32() error: uninitialized symbol 'value'.
Call tpm_buf_read() to populate value but do not check its return status. If the read fails, value remains uninitialized, causing undefined behavior when returned or processed. Initialize value to zero to ensure a defined return even if tpm_buf_read() fails, avoiding undefined behavior from using an uninitialized variable.
