x86/sgx: Report RCU-Tasks quiescent state in EPC sanitization loop

When the kernel boots from kexec, the EPC pages may have a stale state.
The kernel sanitizes all EPC pages to reset them to a clean state before
their first use in any enclave.  The EPC size could be several GBs and
resetting them could take a significant amount of time.  Because of that,
the kernel performs the reset in a loop through a kernel thread ksgxd() at
early boot, and there's a cond_resched() after resetting each EPC page.

This is fine in most cases, but becomes a problem when there's other kernel
code waiting for an RCU-Tasks grace period but the cond_resched() in
ksgxd() never triggers rescheduling.  Because cond_resched() doesn't report
a quiescent state when it doesn't trigger rescheduling, the thread that is
waiting for an RCU-Tasks grace period will wait until all EPC pages are
reset.

For instance, BPF LSM subsystem can invoke synchronize_rcu_tasks() at
kernel boot time.  A VM with a large EPC assigned and BPF LSM enabled can
take a long time to boot, with a call trace triggered:

    rcu_tasks_wait_gp: rcu_tasks grace period number 1 (since boot) is
	130631 jiffies old.
    INFO: task systemd:1 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
    ...
    task:systemd  state:D stack:0  pid:1  tpid:1  ppid:0  flags:0x00000002
    Call Trace:
    ...

    bpf_tracing_prog_attach+0x3c5/0x5f0

Replace cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() which explicitly
reports quiescent state regardless of whether actual rescheduling is
triggered.  Resetting all EPC pages in ksgxd() isn't performance critical
so the extra cost of cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() isn't a problem.

Tests showed this reduced the VM kernel boot time from ~50s to ~700ms.
