Don't WARN on having unsanitized EPC pages if ksgxd is stopped early,
e.g. if sgx_init() realizes there will be no downstream consumers of EPC.
If ksgxd is stopped early, EPC pages may be left on the dirty list, but
that's ok because ksgxd is only stopped if SGX initialization failed or
if the kernel is going down. In either case, the EPC won't be used.
This bug was exposed by the addition of KVM support, but has existed and
was hittable since the original sanitization code was added. Prior to
adding KVM support, if Launch Control was not fully enabled, e.g. when
running on older hardware, sgx_init() bailed immediately before spawning
ksgxd because X86_FEATURE_SGX was cleared if X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC was
unsupported.
With KVM support, sgx_drv_init() handles the X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC check
manually, so now there's any easy-to-hit case where sgx_init() will spawn
ksgxd and _then_ fail to initialize, which results in sgx_init() stopping
ksgxd before it finishes sanitizing the EPC.
Prior to KVM support, the bug was much harder to hit because it basically
required char device registration to fail.

Lightly tested due to lack of hardware. I hacked the flow to verify that
stopping early will leave work pending, and that rechecking should_stop()
suppress the resulting WARN.
