pipe: fix poll/select race introduced by the pipe rework
The kernel wait queues have a basic rule to them: you add yourself to the wait-queue first, and then you check the things that you're going to wait on. That avoids the races with the event you're waiting for. The same goes for poll/select logic: the "poll_wait()" goes first, and then you check the things you're polling for. Of course, if you use locking, the ordering doesn't matter since the lock will serialize with anything that changes the state you're looking at. That's not the case here, though. So move the poll_wait() first in pipe_poll(), before you start looking at the pipe state.
