[PATCH] splice: fix problems with sys_tee()

Several issues noticed/fixed:

- We cannot reliably block in link_pipe() while holding both input and output
  mutexes. So do preparatory checks before locking down both mutexes and doing
  the link.

- The ipipe->nrbufs vs i check was bad, because we could have dropped the
  ipipe lock in-between. This causes us to potentially look at unknown
  buffers if we were racing with someone else reading this pipe.
