x86/sgx: Drop racy follow_pfn() check
PTE insertion is fundamentally racy, and this check doesn't do anything
useful. Quoting Sean:
"Yeah, it can be whacked. The original, never-upstreamed code asserted
that the resolved PFN matched the PFN being installed by the fault
handler as a sanity check on the SGX driver's EPC management. The
WARN assertion got dropped for whatever reason, leaving that useless
chunk."
Jason stumbled over this as a new user of follow_pfn(), and I'm trying
to get rid of unsafe callers of that function so it can be locked down
further.
This is independent prep work for the referenced patch series:
