Introduce the OOM path for killing an enclave with a reclaimer that is no
longer able to reclaim enough EPC pages. Find a victim enclave, which
will be an enclave with only "unreclaimable" EPC pages left in the
cgroup LRU lists. Once a victim is identified, mark the enclave as OOM
and zap the enclave's entire page range, and drain all mm references in
encl->mm_list. Block allocating any EPC pages in #PF handler, or
reloading any pages in all paths, or creating any new mappings.

The OOM killing path may race with the reclaimers: in some cases, the
victim enclave is in the process of reclaiming the last EPC pages when
OOM happens, that is, all pages other than SECS and VA pages are in
RECLAIMING_IN_PROGRESS state. The reclaiming process requires access to
the enclave backing, VA pages as well as SECS. So the OOM killer does
not directly release those enclave resources, instead, it lets all
reclaiming in progress to finish, and relies (as currently done) on
kref_put on encl->refcount to trigger sgx_encl_release() to do the
final cleanup.

V5:
- Rename SGX_ENCL_OOM to SGX_ENCL_NO_MEMORY

V4:
- Updates for patch reordering and typo fixes.

V3:
- Rebased to use the new VMA_ITERATOR to zap VMAs.
- Fixed the racing cases by blocking new page allocation/mapping and
reloading when enclave is marked for OOM. And do not release any enclave
resources other than draining mm_list entries, and let pages in
RECLAIMING_IN_PROGRESS to be reaped by reclaimers.
- Due to above changes, also removed the no-longer needed encl->lock in
the OOM path which was causing deadlocks reported by the lock prover.

I hate to bring this up, at least at this stage, but I am wondering why we need
to put VA and SECS pages to the unreclaimable list, but cannot keep an
"enclave_list" instead?

So by looking the patch (" x86/sgx: Limit process EPC usage with misc cgroup controller"), if I am not missing anything, the whole "unreclaimable" list is just used to find the victim enclave when OOM needs to be done. Thus, I don't
see why "enclave_list" cannot be used to achieve this.

The reason that I am asking is because it seems using "enclave_list" we can simplify the code. At least the patches related to track VA/SECS pages, and the SGX_EPC_OWNER_PAGE/SGX_EPC_OWNER_ENCL thing can be eliminated completely. Using "enclave_list", I guess you just need to put the enclave to the current
EPC cgroup when SECS page is allocated.

Later the hosting process could migrated/reassigned to another cgroup?
What to do when the new cgroup is OOM?

Thanks
Haitao
