Shouldn't this be:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC))
		return !sgx_cgroup_lru_empty(misc_cg_root());
	else
		return !list_empty(&sgx_global_lru.reclaimable);
?

In this way, it is consistent with the sgx_reclaim_pages_global() below.

Empty line.

Looking at the code, to me sgx_should_reclaim() is a little bit vague
because from the name we don't know whether it interally checks the
current cgroup or the global.  

It's better to rename to sgx_should_reclaim_global().

Ditto for sgx_can_reclaim() -> sgx_can_reclaim_global().

And I think you can do the renaming in the previous patch, because in the
changelog of your previous patch, it seems you have called out the two
functions are for global reclaim.
