We hit softlocup with following call trace:
? asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x16/0x20
xa_erase+0x21/0xb0
? sgx_free_epc_page+0x20/0x50
sgx_vepc_release+0x75/0x220
__fput+0x89/0x250
task_work_run+0x59/0x90
do_exit+0x337/0x9a0

Similar like commit
8795359e35bc ("x86/sgx: Silence softlockup detection when releasing large enclaves")
The test system has 64GB of enclave memory, and all assigned to a single
VM. Release vepc take longer time and triggers the softlockup warning.

Add a cond_resched() to give other tasks a chance to run and placate
the softlockup detector.
