* new field - pipe->files; number of struct file over that pipe (all
  sharing the same inode, of course); protected by inode->i_lock.
* pipe_release() decrements pipe->files, clears inode->i_pipe when
  if the counter has reached 0 (all under ->i_lock) and, in that case,
  frees pipe after having done pipe_unlock()
* fifo_open() starts with grabbing ->i_lock, and either bumps pipe->files
  if ->i_pipe was non-NULL or allocates a new pipe (dropping and regaining
  ->i_lock) and rechecks ->i_pipe; if it's still NULL, inserts new pipe
  there, otherwise bumps ->i_pipe->files and frees the one we'd allocated.
  At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so
  we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to.  If we end up
  failing, decrement pipe->files and if it reaches 0 clear ->i_pipe and
  free the sucker after pipe_unlock().

* use the fact that file_inode(file)->i_pipe doesn't change
  while the file is opened - no locks needed to access that.
* switch to pipe_lock/pipe_unlock where it's easy to do

just what it sounds like; do that only to procfs subtrees you've
created - doing that to something shared with another driver is
not only antisocial, but might cause interesting races with
proc_create() and its ilk.

  Don't bother with redoing rw_verify_area() from default_file_splice_from()

vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls
atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu().
