Subject: [PATCH v3] pipe: use __pipe_{lock,unlock} instead of spinlock
Use spinlock in pipe_read/write cost too much time,IMO
pipe->{head,tail} can be protected by __pipe_{lock,unlock}.
On the other hand, we can use __pipe_{lock,unlock} to protect
the pipe->{head,tail} in pipe_resize_ring and
post_one_notification.
Reminded by Matthew, I tested this patch using UnixBench's pipe
test case on a x86_64 machine,and get the following data:
1) before this patch
System Benchmarks Partial Index BASELINE RESULT INDEX
Pipe Throughput 12440.0 493023.3 396.3
========
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only) 396.3
2) after this patch
System Benchmarks Partial Index BASELINE RESULT INDEX
Pipe Throughput 12440.0 507551.4 408.0
========
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only) 408.0
so we get ~3% speedup.
Reminded by Andrew, I tested this patch with the test code in
Linus's 0ddad21d3e99 add get following result:

v3:
- fixes the error reported by kernel test robot <oliver.sang@...el.com>
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202301061340.c954d61f-oliver.sang@intel.com
- add perf stat data for the test code in Linus's 0ddad21d3e99 in
commit message.
v2:
- add UnixBench test data in commit message
- fixes the test error reported by kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
by adding the missing fs.h header file.
