Subject: [PATCH 4/7] pipe: fix off-by-one error when checking buffer limits

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

With pipe-user-pages-hard set to 'N', users were actually only allowed
up to 'N - 1' buffers; and likewise for pipe-user-pages-soft.

Fix this to allow up to 'N' buffers, as would be expected.
