Subject: [RFC v16][PATCH 26/43] splice: added support for pipe-to-pipe splice()

This patch is a modified version of Max Kellerman patch that allows
splice() between pipes (see http://patchwork/kernel/org/patch/21042).
By refactoring link_pipe(), do_tee() and do_splice_pipes() shrink
considerably. Below is Max's original description:

--
This patch enables the splice() system call to copy buffers from one
pipe to another.  This obvious and trivial use case for splice() was
not supported until now.

It reuses the functions link_ipipe_prep() and link_opipe_prep() from
the tee() system call implementation.
