Subject: [PATCH v2] pipe: Fail cleanly when root tries F_SETPIPE_SZ with big  size

When a user with the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE cap tries to F_SETPIPE_SZ a pipe with
size bigger than what kmalloc() can alloc it spits out an ugly warning:

Instead, make kcalloc() handle the overflow case and fail quietly.
