Linus Torvalds a28c8b9db8 pipe: remove 'waiting_writers' merging logic
This code is ancient, and goes back to when we only had a single page
for the pipe buffers.  The exact history is hidden in the mists of time
(ie "before git", and in fact predates the BK repository too).

At that long-ago point in time, it actually helped to try to merge big
back-and-forth pipe reads and writes, and not limit pipe reads to the
single pipe buffer in length just because that was all we had at a time.

However, since then we've expanded the pipe buffers to multiple pages,
and this logic really doesn't seem to make sense.  And a lot of it is
somewhat questionable (ie "hmm, the user asked for a non-blocking read,
but we see that there's a writer pending, so let's wait anyway to get
the extra data that the writer will have").

But more importantly, it makes the "go to sleep" logic much less
obvious, and considering the wakeup issues we've had, I want to make for
less of those kinds of things.
