      vfs: fix pipe counter breakage · a930d879

      If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not
      add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info"
      to be potentially released early.
      
      That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe,
      but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects
      the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there.  And rather than adding
      NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we
      already do for the named pipe ("fifo") case.
      
      This is ancient going back to pre-2.4 days, and until trinity, nobody
      naver noticed.
