ITER_PIPE: allocate buffers as we go in copy-to-pipe primitives
New helper: append_pipe(). Extends the last buffer if possible,
allocates a new one otherwise. Returns page and offset in it
on success, NULL on failure. iov_iter is advanced past the
data we've got.
Use that instead of push_pipe() in copy-to-pipe primitives;
they get simpler that way. Handling of short copy (in "mc" one)
is done simply by iov_iter_revert() - iov_iter is in consistent
state after that one, so we can use that.

[another braino fix, this time in copy_pipe_to_iter() and pipe_zero();
caught by testcase from Hugh Dickins]
