fs/pipe.c: add ->statfs callback for pipefs
Currently a statfs on a pipe's /proc/<pid>/fd/ link returns -ENOSYS. Wire pipfs up so that the statfs succeeds. This is required by checkpoint-restart in the userspace to make it possible to distinguish pipes from fifos. When we dump information about task's open files we use the /proc/pid/fd directoy's symlinks and the fact that opening any of them gives us exactly the same dentry->inode pair as the original process has. Now if a task we're dumping has opened pipe and fifo we need to detect this and act accordingly. Knowing that an fd with type S_ISFIFO resides on a pipefs is the most precise way.
