splice: lift pipe_lock out of splice_to_pipe()
* splice_to_pipe() stops at pipe overflow and does *not* take pipe_lock * ->splice_read() instances do the same * vmsplice_to_pipe() and do_splice() (ultimate callers of splice_to_pipe()) arrange for waiting, looping, etc. themselves. That should make pipe_lock the outermost one. Unfortunately, existing rules for the amount passed by vmsplice_to_pipe() and do_splice() are quite ugly _and_ userland code can be easily broken by changing those. It's not even "no more than the maximal capacity of this pipe" - it's "once we'd fed pipe->nr_buffers pages into the pipe, leave instead of waiting". Considering how poorly these rules are documented, let's try "wait for some space to appear, unless given SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK, then push into pipe and if we run into overflow, we are done".
