[PATCH v2 1/4] fs/pipe: Limit the slots in pipe_resize_ring()

[K Prateek Nayak]

Limit the number of slots in pipe_resize_ring() to the maximum value
representable by pipe->{head,tail}. Values beyond the max limit can
lead to incorrect pipe occupancy related calculations where the pipe
will never appear full.

Changelog:

RFC v1..v2:

o Use (pipe_index_t)-1u as the limit instead of BITS_PER_TYPE()
  hackery. (Oleg)

o Added the "Suggested-by:" tag.
