x86/sgx: Warn explicitly if X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC is not enabled
The kernel requires X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC to be able to create SGX enclaves,
not just X86_FEATURE_SGX.
There is quite a number of hardware which has X86_FEATURE_SGX but not
X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC. A kernel running on such hardware does not create
the /dev/sgx_enclave file and does so silently.
Explicitly warn if X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC is not enabled to properly notify
users that the kernel disabled the SGX driver.
The X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC, a.k.a. SGX Launch Control, is a CPU feature
that enables LE (Launch Enclave) hash MSRs to be writable (with
additional opt-in required in the 'feature control' MSR) when running
enclaves, i.e. using a custom root key rather than the Intel proprietary
key for enclave signing.
I've hit this issue myself and have spent some time researching where
my /dev/sgx_enclave file went on SGX-enabled hardware.

[ mingo: Made the error message a bit more verbose, and added other cases
where the kernel fails to create the /dev/sgx_enclave device node. ]
