[PATCH 5.15 164/172] x86/sgx: Silence softlockup detection when releasing large enclaves

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 8795359e35bc33bf86b6d0765aa7f37431db3b9c upstream.

Vijay reported that the "unclobbered_vdso_oversubscribed" selftest
triggers the softlockup detector.

Actual SGX systems have 128GB of enclave memory or more. The
"unclobbered_vdso_oversubscribed" selftest creates one enclave which
consumes all of the enclave memory on the system. Tearing down such a
large enclave takes around a minute, most of it in the loop where
the EREMOVE instruction is applied to each individual 4k enclave page.

Spending one minute in a loop triggers the softlockup detector.

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