[PATCH v2 7/8] pipe: make account_pipe_buffers() return a value, and use it

["Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>]

This is an optional patch, to provide a small performance
improvement.  Alter account_pipe_buffers() so that it returns the
new value in user->pipe_bufs. This means that we can refactor
too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() and too_many_pipe_buffers_hard() to
avoid the costs of repeated use of atomic_long_read() to get the
value user->pipe_bufs.
