Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/sgx: Remove redundant if conditions in sgx_encl_create

In this scenario, there is no case where va_page is NULL, and
the error has been checked. The if condition statement here is
redundant, so remove the condition detection.

IMO it's worth trimming down the message to keep this on a single line. The
newline isn't necessary, and this code expects a completely empty list, e.g. it
can be reworded to something like:

if (WARN_ONCE(!va_page, "non-empty VA page list before ECREATE"))

Agreed. If I recall correctly, these days you can have at least 100
characters per line (if not more, cannot recall the exact number).

Thanks for your suggestion, I have resubmitted a set of patches.
