Vijay reported that the "unclobbered_vdso_oversubscribed" selftest triggers the softlockup detector.
Actual SGX systems have 128GB of enclave memory or more. The "unclobbered_vdso_oversubscribed" selftest creates one enclave which consumes all of the enclave memory on the system. Tearing down such a large enclave takes around a minute, most of it in the loop where the EREMOVE instruction is applied to each individual 4k enclave page.
Spending one minute in a loop triggers the softlockup detector.
Add a cond_resched() to give other tasks a chance to run and placate the softlockup detector.
