pipe: fail cleanly when root tries F_SETPIPE_SZ with big size
When a user with the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE cap tries to F_SETPIPE_SZ a pipe with size bigger than kmalloc() can alloc it spits out an ugly warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at mm/page_alloc.c:2095 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x5d3/0x7a0() Pid: 733, comm: a.out Not tainted 3.2.0-rc1+ #4 Call Trace: warn_slowpath_common+0x75/0xb0 warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x5d3/0x7a0 __get_free_pages+0x12/0x50 __kmalloc+0x12b/0x150 pipe_set_size+0x75/0x120 pipe_fcntl+0xf8/0x140 do_fcntl+0x2d4/0x410 sys_fcntl+0x66/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace 432f702e6db7b5ee ]--- Instead, make kcalloc() handle the overflow case and fail quietly.
