Doesn't adding making the SGX sub-features depend on X86_FEATURE_SGX have the
same net effect?  Or am I misreading do_clear_cpu_cap()?

Though if we use the cpuid_deps table, I'd vote to get rid of clear_sgx_caps()
and call setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_SGX) directly.  And probably change the
existing SGX_LC behavior and drop clear_sgx_caps() in a separate patch instead
of squeezing it into this one.
