Fallback from EWB failure by killing the enclave by zeroing TCS PTEs
and kicking out threads instead of crashing the driver with BUG_ON().

If __sgx_ewb() fails after sending an IPI, shouldn't we display a kernel warning, unload the driver and prevent
reloading the driver until the system is rebooted?  A failing EWB after a system wide IPI would indicate a hardware or
kernel bug; in either case, the user/admin should be alerted and SGX should be effectively disabled.  Such an abort flow
could also be used to replace the other BUG/BUG_ON calls.

Showing an error message makes sense. Other actions are up to sysadmin.

The situations are very different in terms of context. Aborting is
not a feature.
