Subject: [PATCH 3.16 203/410] pipe: simplify logic in alloc_pipe_info()

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@...il.com>

commit 09b4d1990094dd22c27fb0163534db419458569c upstream.

Replace an 'if' block that covers most of the code in this function
with a 'goto'. This makes the code a little simpler to read, and also
simplifies the next patch (fix limit checking in alloc_pipe_info())
