[PATCH] fs: Do not check for valid page->mapping in page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm

[Abhi Das]

If the page is truncated after being spliced into the pipe, it's
probably not invalid.

For filesystems that invalidate pages, we used to return -ENODATA
even though the data is there, it's just possibly different from
what was spliced into the pipe. We shouldn't have to throw away
the buffer or return error in this case.
