Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/20] x86/sgx: Call cond_resched() at the end of sgx_reclaim_pages()

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

Move the invocation of post-reclaim cond_resched() from the callers of
sgx_reclaim_pages() into the reclaim path itself.   sgx_reclaim_pages()
is always called in a loop and is always followed by a call to
cond_resched().  This will hold true for the EPC cgroup as well, which
adds even more calls to sgx_reclaim_pages() and thus cond_resched().
