[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v3 6/6] tpm: Do not set TPM in failure mode if menu command fails

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Since we may detect that HW physical presence is enabled but we do not detect
whether it is actually asserted, we may fail on the TPM menu commands that
require the assertion of physical presence. We therefore cannot set the TPM
into failure mode if we hit this case. Failure should never occur in these
cases if SW physical presence has been asserted.
