[PATCH v2] x86/sgx: Avoid using iterator after loop in sgx_mmu_notifier_release()

[Jakob Koschel]

If &encl_mm->encl->mm_list does not contain the searched 'encl_mm',
'tmp' will not point to a valid sgx_encl_mm struct.

Linus proposed to avoid any use of the list iterator variable after the
loop, in the attempt to move the list iterator variable declaration into
the marcro to avoid any potential misuse after the loop.
Using it in a pointer comparision after the loop is undefined behavior
and should be omitted if possible [1].

Instead we'll just use a 'found' boolean to indicate if an element
was found.
