[PATCH v7 10/13] selftests/sgx: Ensure test enclave buffer is entirely preserved

[Jo Van Bulck <jo.vanbulck@cs.kuleuven.be>]

Attach the "used" attribute to instruct the compiler to preserve the static
encl_buffer, even if it appears it is not entirely referenced in the enclave
code, as expected by the external tests manipulating page permissions.
