Thanks!

My conclusions are that:

1. We probably cannot move the test part of cgroup test itself
   given the enclave payload dependency.
2. I think it makes sense to still follow the same pattern as
   other cgroups test and re-use cgroup_util.[ch] functionaltiy.

So yeah I guess we need two test programs instead of one.

Something along the lines:

1. main.[ch] -> test_sgx.[ch]
2. introduce test_sgx_cgroup.c

And test_sgx_cgroup.c would be implement similar test as the shell
script and would follow the structure of existing cgroups tests.
