[PATCH 1/2] pipe: fix race with fcntl

[Dmitry Monakhov]

Fix other long standing issues caused by fcntl(,F_SETFL,):
- User can disable O_DIRECT for pipe[1] (paketized IO), but can not enable it again.
- Currently we do not set O_APPEND on pipe[1] (IMHO it is wrong, but let it be)
  so it is reasonable to completely prohibit change O_APPEND flag on both
  end's of pipe. Add ->check_flags method in order to diallow O_APPEND toggling.
