3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com
commit 9509941e9c534920ccc4771ae70bd6cbbe79df1c upstream.
Some of the pipe_buf_release() handlers seem to assume that the pipe is locked - in particular, anon_pipe_buf_release() accesses pipe->tmp_page without taking any extra locks. From a glance through the callers of pipe_buf_release(), it looks like FUSE is the only one that calls pipe_buf_release() without having the pipe locked.
This bug should only lead to a memory leak, nothing terrible.
