x86/sgx: Break up long non-preemptible delays in sgx_vepc_release() 

commit 3d7d72a34e upstream.

On large enclaves we hit the softlockup warning with following call trace:

	xa_erase()
	sgx_vepc_release()
	__fput()
	task_work_run()
	do_exit()

The latency issue is similar to the one fixed in:

  8795359e35 ("x86/sgx: Silence softlockup detection when releasing large enclaves")

The test system has 64GB of enclave memory, and all is assigned to a single VM.
Release of 'vepc' takes a longer time and causes long latencies, which triggers
the softlockup warning.

Add cond_resched() to give other tasks a chance to run and reduce
latencies, which also avoids the softlockup detector.

[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]
