This would be in my opinion better:

"
In order to avoid repetion of cond_sched() in ksgxd() and
sgx_alloc_epc_page(), move the call inside sgx_reclaim_pages().

This will hold true for the EPC cgroup as well, which adds more
call sites sgx_reclaim_pages().
"

This way it is dead obvious and is better description because
it enumerates the consequences (i.e. call sites).
