[PATCH 0/1] Fix crash in __calc_tpm2_event_size

I've been testing the latest code in the linux-tpmdd branch and I'm
experiencing a crash in __calc_tpm2_event_size when it's called to
calculate the size of events in the final log. I hope I'm not stepping on
anyone's toes, but this small change seems to fix it.

What seems to happen is that the event header is mapped here:

/* Map the event header */
if (do_mapping) {
mapping_size = marker - marker_start;
mapping = TPM_MEMREMAP((unsigned long)marker_start,
mapping_size);

...

event = (struct tcg_pcr_event2_head *)mapping;

When calculating the cumulative size of the digests, the event header is
dereferenced here on each loop iteration in order to obtain the digest
count:

for (i = 0; i < event->count; i++) {
halg_size = sizeof(event->digests[i].alg_id);

But the first iteration of the loop unmaps the event header:

/* Map the digest's algorithm identifier */
if (do_mapping) {
TPM_MEMUNMAP(mapping, mapping_size);
mapping_size = halg_size;
mapping = TPM_MEMREMAP((unsigned long)marker,
mapping_size);

Subsequent loop iterations then dereference a pointer to unmapped memory.
