Unsanitized pages trigger WARN_ON() unconditionally, which can panic the
whole computer, if /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn is set.
In sgx_init(), if misc_register() fails or misc_register() succeeds but
neither sgx_drv_init() nor sgx_vepc_init() succeeds, then ksgxd will be
prematurely stopped. This may leave unsanitized pages, which will result a
false warning.
Refine __sgx_sanitize_pages() to return:
1. Zero when the sanitization process is complete or ksgxd has been
requested to stop.
2. The number of unsanitized pages otherwise.
Use the return value as the criteria for triggering output, and tone down
the output to pr_err() to prevent the whole system to be taken down if for
some reason sanitization process does not complete.

v8:
- Discard changes that are not relevant for the stable fix. This
does absolutely minimum to address the bug:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/[email protected]/
v7:
- Rewrote commit message.
- Do not return -ECANCELED on premature stop. Instead use zero both
premature stop and complete sanitization.
v6:
- Address Reinette's feedback:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/Yw6%2FiTzSdSw%2FY%[email protected]/
v5:
- Add the klog dump and sysctl option to the commit message.
v4:
- Explain expectations for dirty_page_list in the function header, instead
of an inline comment.
- Improve commit message to explain the conditions better.
- Return the number of pages left dirty to ksgxd() and print warning after
the 2nd call, if there are any.
v3:
- Remove WARN_ON().
- Tuned comments and the commit message a bit.
v2:
- Replaced WARN_ON() with optional pr_info() inside
__sgx_sanitize_pages().
- Rewrote the commit message.
- Added the fixes tag.
