Short Version:

The SGX section->laundry_list structure is effectively thread-local, but
declared next to some shared structures. Its semantics are clear as mud.
Fix that. No functional changes. Compile tested only.

Long Version:

The SGX hardware keeps per-page metadata. This can provide things like
permissions, integrity and replay protection. It also prevents things
like having an enclave page mapped multiple times or shared between
enclaves.

But, that presents a problem for kexec()'d kernels (or any other kernel
that does not run immediately after a hardware reset). This is because
the last kernel may have been rude and forgotten to reset pages, which
would trigger the "shared page" sanity check.

To fix this, the SGX code "launders" the pages by running the EREMOVE
instruction on all pages at boot. This is slow and can take a long
time, so it is performed off in the SGX-specific ksgxd instead of being
synchronous at boot. The init code hands the list of pages to launder in
a per-SGX-section list: ->laundry_list. The only code to touch this list
is the init code and ksgxd. This means that no locking is necessary for
->laundry_list.

However, a lock is required for section->page_list, which is accessed
while creating enclaves and by ksgxd. This lock (section->lock) is
acquired by ksgxd while also processing ->laundry_list. It is easy to
confuse the purpose of the locking as being for ->laundry_list and
->page_list.

Rename ->laundry_list to ->init_laundry_list to make it clear that this
is not normally used at runtime. Also add some comments clarifying the
locking, and reorganize 'sgx_epc_section' to put 'lock' near the things
it protects.

Note: init_laundry_list is 128 bytes of wasted space at runtime. It
could theoretically be dynamically allocated and then freed after
the laundering process. But it would take nearly 128 bytes of extra
instructions to do that.
