Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [BUGFIX] virtio/console: Fix two bugs of splice_write

Hi,

This patch set fixes two bugs of splice_write in the virtio-console driver.

[BUG1] Although pipe->nrbufs is empty, the driver tries to do splice_write.
       => This induces oops in sg_init_table().

[BUG2] No lock for competition of splice_write.
       => This induces oops in splice_from_pipe_feed() by bug of any user
          application.

These reports are written in each patch.

Thanks!
