Subject: [PATCH v16 13/16] x86/sgx: implement direct reclamation for cgroups

sgx_reclaim_direct() was introduced to preemptively reclaim some pages
as the best effort to avoid on-demand reclamation that can stall forward
progress in some situations, e.g., allocating pages to load previously
reclaimed page to perform EDMM operations on [1].

Currently when the global usage is close to the capacity,
sgx_reclaim_direct() makes one invocation to sgx_reclaim_pages_global()
but does not guarantee there are free pages available for later
allocations to succeed. In other words, the only goal here is to reduce
the chance of on-demand reclamation at allocation time. In cases of
allocation failure, the caller, the EDMM ioctl()'s, would return -EAGAIN
to user space and let the user space to decide whether to retry or not.

With EPC cgroups enabled, usage of a cgroup can also reach its limit
(usually much lower than capacity) and trigger per-cgroup reclamation.
Implement a similar strategy to reduce the chance of on-demand
per-cgroup reclamation for this use case.

Create a wrapper, sgx_cgroup_reclaim_direct(), to perform a preemptive
reclamation at cgroup level, and have sgx_reclaim_direct() call it when
EPC cgroup is enabled.
