[PATCH v4 2/5] x86/sgx: Reduce the locking range in sgx_sanitize_section()

[Tianjia Zhang]

The spin lock of sgx_epc_section only locks the page_list. The
EREMOVE operation and init_laundry_list is not necessary in the
protection range of the spin lock. This patch reduces the lock
range of the spin lock in the function sgx_sanitize_section()
and only protects the operation of the page_list.
