  plpks_confirm_object_flushed() uses the H_PKS_CONFIRM_OBJECT_FLUSHED hcall
to check whether changes to an object in the Platform KeyStore have been
flushed to non-volatile storage.

The hcall returns two output values, the return code and the flush status.
plpks_confirm_object_flushed() polls the hcall until either the flush
status has updated, the return code is an error, or a timeout has been
exceeded.

While we're still polling, the hcall is returning H_SUCCESS (0) as the
return code. In the timeout case, this means that upon exiting the polling
loop, rc is 0, and therefore 0 is returned to the user.

Handle the timeout case separately and return ETIMEDOUT if triggered.

Can fixes go to the start of the series?

Thanks,
