Subject: [PATCH] x86/sgx: Allow RW for TCS pages

Not allowing to set RW for added TCS pages leads only to a special case
to be handled in the user space run-time. Thus, allow permissions to be
set RW. Originally, it would have probably made more sense to check up
that the permissions are RW.

The comments above sgx_ioc_enclave_add_pages() seem to indicate that zero
permissions are required:

"A SECINFO for a TCS is required to always contain zero permissions because
CPU silently zeros them. Allowing anything else would cause a mismatch in
the measurement."

I think this can be left out for now but fixing the relative addressing
is an obvious fix.
