[PATCH] x86/sgx: Drop racy follow_pfn check

[Daniel Vetter]

PTE insertion is fundamentally racy, and this check doesn't do
anything useful. Quoting Sean:

"Yeah, it can be whacked.  The original, never-upstreamed code asserted that the
resolved PFN matched the PFN being installed by the fault handler as a sanity
check on the SGX driver's EPC management.  The WARN assertion got dropped for
whatever reason, leaving that useless chunk."

Jason stumbled over this as a new user of follow_pfn, and I'm trying
to get rid of unsafe callers of that function so it can be locked down
further.

This is independent prep work for the referenced patch series.
