Add pipe_lock/unlock for splice_write to avoid oops by following competition:
(1) An application gets fds of a trace buffer, virtio-serial, pipe.
(2) The application does fork()
(3) The processes execute splice_read(trace buffer) and
splice_write(virtio-serial) via same pipe.
<parent> <child>

Two processes share a pipe_inode_info structure. If the child execute
splice(read) when the parent tries to execute splice(write), the
structure can be broken. Existing virtio-serial driver does not get
lock for the structure in splice_write, so this competition will induce
oops.
