Eric Biggers c4fed5a91f pipe: simplify round_pipe_size()
round_pipe_size() calculates the number of pages the requested size
corresponds to, then rounds the page count up to the next power of 2.

However, it also rounds everything < PAGE_SIZE up to PAGE_SIZE.
Therefore, there's no need to actually translate the size into a page
count; we just need to round the size up to the next power of 2.

We do need to verify the size isn't greater than (1 << 31), since on
32-bit systems roundup_pow_of_two() would be undefined in that case.  But
that can just be combined with the UINT_MAX check which we need anyway
now.

Finally, update pipe_set_size() to not redundantly check the return value
of round_pipe_size() for the "invalid size" case twice.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
