Subject: [PATCH] x86/sgx: Improve comments for sgx_encl_lookup/alloc_backing()

Modify the comments for sgx_encl_lookup_backing() and for
sgx_encl_alloc_backing() to indicate that they take a reference
which must be dropped with a call to sgx_encl_put_backing().
Make sgx_encl_lookup_backing() static for now, and change the
name of sgx_encl_get_backing() to __sgx_encl_get_backing() to
make it more clear that sgx_encl_get_backing() is an internal
function.
