Is it ok to add a separate exported function for ERESUME? ERESUME can't
explicitly pass anything to the enclave, i.e. doesn't need a @priv param.
A separate function is a little prettier, e.g.:

static inline
long vdso_enter_enclave(enum sgx_enclu_leaf op, void *tcs, void *priv,
struct sgx_eenter_fault_info *fault_info)
{
...
}

notrace long __vdso_sgx_eenter(void *tcs, void *priv,
struct sgx_eenter_fault_info *fault_info)
{
return vdso_enter_enclave(SGX_EENTER, tcs, priv, fault_info);
}

notrace long __vdso_sgx_eresume(void *tcs,
struct sgx_eenter_fault_info *fault_info)
{
return vdso_enter_enclave(SGX_ERESUME, tcs, NULL, fault_info);
}
