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.
