Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: sgx_vepc: implement SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL ioctl

For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees
SGX state at reboot.  For instance, all pages start out uninitialized.
The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened
vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in
uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot.

Some userspace implementations of virtual SGX would rather avoid having
to close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the
virtual EPC.  For example, they could be sandboxing themselves before the
guest starts in order to mitigate exploits from untrusted guests,
forbidding further calls to open().

Therefore, add a ioctl that does this with EREMOVE.  Userspace can
invoke the ioctl to bring its vEPC pages back to uninitialized state.
There is a possibility that some pages fail to be removed if they are
SECS pages, so the ioctl returns the number of EREMOVE failures.  The
correct usage is documented in sgx.rst.

+Some guests, such as Windows, require that all pages are uninitialized
+at startup or after a guest reboot.  Because this state can be reached
+only through the privileged ``ENCLS[EREMOVE]`` instruction, ``/dev/sgx_vepc``
+provides the ``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL`` ioctl to execute the instruction on
+all pages in the virtual EPC.
+
+The ioctl will often not able to remove SECS pages, in case their child
+pages have not gone through ``EREMOVE`` yet; therefore, the ioctl returns the
+number of pages that failed to be removed.  ``SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE_ALL`` should
+first be invoked on all the ``/dev/sgx_vepc`` file descriptors mapped
+into the guest; a second call to the ioctl will be able to remove all
+leftover pages and will return 0.  Any other return value on the second call
+would be a symptom of a bug in either Linux or the userspace client.
