Nit: the the "else" should also have curly braces.

FWIW, taking section->lock could be moved inside the !ret flow so that EREMOVE
is done without holding the lock.  I've no idea if that'd actually change
anything in practice, but it's theoretically possible that ksgxd hasn't finished
sanitizing the EPC when userspace starts creating enclaves.
