unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.
