This is backwards, IMNHO.

Make __sgx_sanitize_pages() return the number of pages that it leaves
dirty.

__sgx_sanitize_pages(&sgx_dirty_page_list)
left_dirty = __sgx_sanitize_pages(&sgx_dirty_page_list);
if (left_dirty)
pr_warn(...);

That rids us of the mystery true/false and puts the pr_warn() in a place
that makes logical sense. Then, let's either *not* do the

pr_err_ratelimited(EREMOVE_ERROR_MESSAGE, ret, ret);

at all, or make it an unconditional pr_warn_ratelimited(). They're not
going to be common and multiple messages are virtually worthless anyway.

I actually think a common tracepoint, or out-of-line ENCLS/ENCLU
functions that can be easily ftraced are a much better idea than a
one-off pr_whatever().
