[PATCH] tpm: improve output in sysfs files when the TPM fails

When the TPM is in a disabled or deactivated state the sysfs pcrs and 
pubek files will appear empty.  To remove any confusion this might cause, 
the files will instead contain the error the TPM returned (also indicative 
of what state the TPM is in and what actions might be needed to change 
that state).
