The commit you refer to, commit d6d261bded8a ("x86/sgx: Add new
sgx_epc_page flag bit to mark free pages", introduced a new page flag bit
(SGX_EPC_PAGE_IS_FREE) that should be set when an EPC page is freed. The
commit also sets the bit in sgx_free_epc_page() when an EPC page is freed.
The commit should also have set that bit when the EPC page is freed in the
reclaimer, which contains an open coded version of sgx_free_epc_page(),
but it did not. This fix adds the snippet that was omitted from that
commit.
