Currently, the only way sgx_page_cache_init() can fail is in the case
that there are no sections:

if (!sgx_nr_epc_sections) {
pr_err("There are zero EPC sections.\n");
return false;
}

That only happened if all sgx_setup_epc_section() calls failed.
sgx_setup_epc_section() never both allocates memory with vmalloc for
section->pages *and* fails. If sgx_setup_epc_section() has a successful
memremap() but a failed vmalloc(), it cleans up with memunmap().

In other words, I see how this _looks_ like a memory leak from
sgx_init(), but I don't see an actual leak in practice.

Am I missing something?
