flag parameters: NONBLOCK in pipe

This patch adds O_NONBLOCK support to pipe2.  It is minimally more involved
than the patches for eventfd et.al but still trivial.  The interfaces of the
create_write_pipe and create_read_pipe helper functions were changed and the
one other caller as well.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
