I figured out how to get best of both worlds. See the
attached patch. I'll send formal series later on.

Keeps the accurancy, just postpones the exit.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/sgx: Do not consider unsanitized pages an error

In sgx_init(), if misc_register() fails or misc_register() succeeds but
neither sgx_drv_init() nor sgx_vepc_init() succeeds, then ksgxd will be
prematurely stopped. This may leave some unsanitized pages, which does
not matter, because SGX will be disabled for the whole power cycle.

This triggers WARN_ON() because sgx_dirty_page_list ends up being
non-empty, and dumps the call stack:

Ultimately this can crash the kernel, if the following is set:

/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn

In premature stop, print nothing, as the number is by practical means a
random number. Otherwise, it is an indicator of a bug in the driver, and
therefore print the number of unsanitized pages with pr_err().

Fixes: 51ab30eb2ad4 ("x86/sgx: Replace section->init_laundry_list with sgx_dirty_page_list")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.13+
Reported-by: Paul Menzel <pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de>
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>

v6:
- Address Reinette's feedback:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/Yw6%2FiTzSdSw%2FY%2FVO@kernel.org/

v5:
- Add the klog dump and sysctl option to the commit message.

v4:
- Explain expectations for dirty_page_list in the function header, instead
of an inline comment.
- Improve commit message to explain the conditions better.
- Return the number of pages left dirty to ksgxd() and print warning after
the 2nd call, if there are any.

v3:
- Remove WARN_ON().
- Tuned comments and the commit message a bit.

v2:
- Replaced WARN_ON() with optional pr_info() inside
__sgx_sanitize_pages().
- Rewrote the commit message.
- Added the fixes tag.
