[PATCH 2/2] pipe: remove bogus check from "set size" fcntl

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

As it stands this check compares the number of pages to the page size.
This makes no sense and makes the fcntl fail in almost any sane case.

Fix it by removing the check completely, round_pipe_size() will make
sure that nr_pages >= 1 anyway.
