[PATCH 2/2] x86/sgx: Maintain encl->refcount for each encl->mm_list entry

There are two functions that drain encl->mm_list:

- sgx_release() (i.e. VFS release) removes the remaining mm_list entries.
- sgx_mmu_notifier_release() removes mm_list entry for the registered
process, if it still exists.

If encl->refcount is taken only for VFS, this can lead to
sgx_encl_release() being executed before sgx_mmu_notifier_release()
completes, which is exactly what happens in the above klog entry.

Each process also needs its own enclave reference.

In order to fix the race condition, increase encl->refcount when an
entry to encl->mm_list added for a process. Release this reference
when the mm_list entry is cleaned up, either in
sgx_mmu_notifier_release() or sgx_release().

v7:
- Same as v6 but v6 was missing cc to Dave. Thus, also the
MAINTAINERS update.
v6:
- Maintain refcount for each encl->mm_list entry.
v5:
- To make sure that the instance does not get deleted use kref_get()
kref_put(). This also removes the need for additional
synchronize_srcu().
v4:
- Rewrite the commit message.
- Just change the call order. *_expedited() is out of scope for this
bug fix.
v3: Fine-tuned tags, and added missing change log for v2.
v2: Switch to synchronize_srcu_expedited().
