x86/sgx: Free up EPC pages directly to support large page ranges
The page reclaimer ensures availability of EPC pages across all
enclaves. In support of this it runs independently from the
individual enclaves in order to take locks from the different
enclaves as it writes pages to swap.
When needing to load a page from swap an EPC page needs to be
available for its contents to be loaded into. Loading an existing
enclave page from swap does not reclaim EPC pages directly if
none are available, instead the reclaimer is woken when the
available EPC pages are found to be below a watermark.
When iterating over a large number of pages in an oversubscribed
environment there is a race between the reclaimer woken up and
EPC pages reclaimed fast enough for the page operations to proceed.
Ensure there are EPC pages available before attempting to load
a page that may potentially be pulled from swap into an available
EPC page.
