SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86/sgx: Suppress WARN on inability to sanitize EPC if ksgxd is stopped

I applied this patch on 5.13-rc6, and it no longer causes to trigger WARN_ON()
on my NUC:

```

[ 0.669411] PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)
[ 0.669412] software IO TLB: mapped [mem 0x0000000017cb9000-0x000000001bcb9000] (64MB)
[ 0.672788] platform rtc_cmos: registered platform RTC device (no PNP device found)
[ 0.672805] sgx: EPC section 0x30200000-0x35f7ffff
[ 0.674239] Initialise system trusted keyrings
[ 0.674254] Key type blacklist registered

```
