Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/20] x86/sgx: Add option to ignore age of page during EPC reclaim

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

Add a flag to sgx_reclaim_pages() to instruct it to ignore the age of
page, i.e. reclaim the page even if it's young.  The EPC cgroup will use
the flag to enforce its limits by draining the reclaimable lists before
resorting to other measures, e.g. forcefully reclaimable "unreclaimable"
pages by killing enclaves.
