Quit from splice_write if pipe->nrbufs is 0 for avoiding oops in virtio-serial.
When an application was doing splice from a kernel buffer to virtio-serial on
a guest, the application received signal(SIGINT). This situation will normally
happen, but the kernel executed a kernel panic by oops as follows:
It seems to induce pagefault in sg_init_tabel() when pipe->nrbufs is equal to
zero. This may happen in a following situation:
(1) The application normally does splice(read) from a kernel buffer, then does
splice(write) to virtio-serial.
(2) The application receives SIGINT when is doing splice(read), so splice(read)
is failed by EINTR. However, the application does not finish the operation.
(3) The application tries to do splice(write) without pipe->nrbufs.
(4) The virtio-console driver tries to touch scatterlist structure sgl in
sg_init_table(), but the region is out of bound.
To avoid the case, a kernel should check whether pipe->nrbufs is empty or not
when splice_write is executed in the virtio-console driver.
