Subject: [RFC v17][PATCH 43/60] splice: export pipe/file-to-pipe/file functionality
During pipes c/r pipes we need to save and restore pipe buffers. But
do_splice() requires two file descriptors, therefore we can't use it,
as we always have one file descriptor (checkpoint image) and one
pipe_inode_info.
This patch exports interfaces that work at the pipe_inode_info level,
namely link_pipe(), do_splice_to() and do_splice_from(). They are used
in the following patch to to save and restore pipe buffers without
unnecessary data copy.
It slightly modifies both do_splice_to() and do_splice_from() to
detect the case of pipe-to-pipe transfer, in which case they invoke
splice_pipe_to_pipe() directly.
