Whenever I see one of these "make sure it isn't NULL", I always jump to
asking what *keeps* it from becoming NULL again.  In both cases here, I
think that's encl->lock.

A comment would be really nice here, maybe on sgx_encl_load_secs().  Maybe:

/*
 * Ensure the SECS page is not swapped out.  Must be called with
 * encl->lock to protect _____ and ensure the SECS page is not
 * swapped out again.
 */

That comment isn't super helpful.  We generally don't WARN_ON() things
that should happen.  *Why* is it not possible?
