New helper: append_pipe(). Extends the last buffer if possible, allocates a new one otherwise. Returns page and offset in it on success, NULL on failure. iov_iter is advanced past the data we've got. Use that instead of push_pipe() in copy-to-pipe primitives; they get simpler that way. Handling of short copy (in "mc" one) is done simply by iov_iter_revert() - iov_iter is in consistent state after that one, so we can use that.
