Once enable CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE, we should protect pipe with pipe->rd_wait.lock since post_one_notification may write pipe from contexts where pipe->mutex cannot be token. But nowdays we will try take it for anycase, it seems needless. Besides, pipe_write will break once it's pipe with O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE, pipe->rd_wait.lock seems no need at all. We make some change base on that, and it can help improve performance for some case like pipe_pst1 in libMicro.
