In sgx_cgroup_init():

    sgx_cgroup_misc_init(misc_cg_root(), &sgx_cg_root);

.. also cannot fail.

I think it should be moved to the sgx_cgroup_register().  Otherwise, if 
any step after sgx_cgroup_init() fails, there's no unwind for the above 
operation.

The consequence is the misc_cg_root()->res[EPC].priv will remain 
pointing to the SGX root cgroup.

It shouldn't cause any real issue for now, but it's weird to have that 
set, and can potentially cause problem in the future.

So, I think we should do:

1) Rename sgx_cgroup_register() -> sgx_cgroup_init(), and move the

	sgx_cgroup_misc_init(misc_cg_root(), &sgx_cg_root);

to it.  All operations in the (new) sgx_cgroup_init() won't fail.

2) Remove (existing) sgx_cgroup_init() form this patch, but introduce it 
in the patch "x86/sgx: Implement async reclamation for cgroup" and 
rename it to sgx_cgroup_prepare() or something.  It just allocates 
workqueue inside.  And sgx_cgroup_deinit() -> sgx_cgroup_cleanup().

Makes sense?
