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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
