[PATCH v17 13/16] x86/sgx: Revise global reclamation for EPC cgroups

[Haitao Huang]

With EPC cgroups, the global reclamation function,
sgx_reclaim_pages_global(), can no longer apply to the global LRU as
pages are now in per-cgroup LRUs.

Create a wrapper, sgx_cgroup_reclaim_global() to invoke
sgx_cgroup_reclaim_pages() passing in the root cgroup.  The wrapper will
scan and attempt to reclaim SGX_NR_TO_SCAN pages just like the current
global reclaim.

Note this simple implementation doesn't _exactly_ mimic the current
global EPC reclaim (which always tries to do the actual reclaim in batch
of SGX_NR_TO_SCAN pages): in rare cases when LRUs have less than
SGX_NR_TO_SCAN reclaimable pages, the actual reclaim of EPC pages will
be split into smaller batches _across_ multiple LRUs with each being
smaller than SGX_NR_TO_SCAN pages.

A more precise way to mimic the current global EPC reclaim would be to
have a new function to only "scan" (or "isolate") SGX_NR_TO_SCAN pages
_across_ the given EPC cgroup _AND_ its descendants, and then do the
actual reclaim in one batch.  But this is unnecessarily complicated at
this stage to address such rare cases.
