It's legal to return NULL EPC cgroup for a given EPC page, i.e., when the
enclave isn't assigned to any cgroup.  But ...

... here is it legal to return a NULL LRU list?

It appears you always want to return a valid LRU list.  That is, if EPC cgroup
is enabled, and when the EPC page doesn't belong to any cgroup, then you want to
return the sgx_global_lru ?
