Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/sgx: Fix a NULL pointer

Under heavy load, the SGX EPC reclaimer (ksgxd) may reclaim the SECS EPC
page for an enclave and set encl->secs.epc_page to NULL. But the SECS
EPC page is used for EAUG in the SGX #PF handler without checking for
NULL and reloading.

Fix this by checking if SECS is loaded before EAUG and loading it if it
was reclaimed.

The SECS page holds global enclave metadata. It can only be reclaimed
when there are no other enclave pages remaining. At that point,
virtually nothing can be done with the enclave until the SECS page is
paged back in.

An enclave can not run nor generate page faults without a resident SECS
page. But it is still possible for a #PF for a non-SECS page to race
with paging out the SECS page.

Hitting this bug requires triggering that race.

Fixes: 5a90d2c3f5ef ("x86/sgx: Support adding of pages to an initialized enclave")
