Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] pipe: add proc_dopipe_max_size() to safely assign pipe_max_size

pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:

  static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
          ...
          {
                  .procname       = "pipe-max-size",
                  .data           = &pipe_max_size,
                  .maxlen         = sizeof(int),
                  .mode           = 0644,
                  .proc_handler   = &pipe_proc_fn,
                  .extra1         = &pipe_min_size,
          },
          ...

  int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf,
                   size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
  {
          ...
          ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
          ...

and then later rounded in-place a few statements later:

          ...
          pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size);
          ...

This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding
that may be visible to other threads.  (For example, one thread sets a
non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)

Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racey:

  pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info()
  pipe.c :: pipe_set_size()

Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() function that consolidates reading the
new value from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling
round_pipe_size() with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.
