Ugh, this is wrong.  If the above kref_put() drops the last reference and
releases the enclave, adding the page to the active page list will result
in a use-after-free as the enclave will have been freed.  It also leaks the
EPC page because sgx_encl_destroy() skips pages that are in the process of
being reclaimed (as detected by list_empty()).

The "original" code did the put() after list_add_tail(), but was moved in
v15 to fix a bug where the put() could drop a reference to the wrong enclave
if the page was freed and reallocated by a different CPU between
list_add_tail() and put().  But, that particular bug only occurred because
the code at the time was:

        sgx_encl_page_put(epc_page);

I.e. the backpointer in epc_page was consumed after dropping the spin lock.
So long as epc_page->owner (well, epc_page in general) isn't dereferenced,
I'm 99% certain this can be fixed simply by doing kref_put() after moving
the page back to the active page list.
