Use spinlock in pipe_read/write cost too much time,IMO
pipe->{head,tail} can be protected by __pipe_{lock,unlock}.
On the other hand, we can use __pipe_{lock,unlock} to protect
the pipe->{head,tail} in pipe_resize_ring and
post_one_notification.

I tested this patch using UnixBench's pipe test case on a x86_64
machine,and get the following data:
1) before this patch
System Benchmarks Partial Index  BASELINE       RESULT    INDEX
Pipe Throughput                   12440.0     493023.3    396.3
                                                         ========
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only)              396.3

2) after this patch
System Benchmarks Partial Index  BASELINE       RESULT    INDEX
Pipe Throughput                   12440.0     507551.4    408.0
                                                         ========
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only)              408.0

so we get ~3% speedup.

After the above "---" line you should have the changlog descrption.
For instance:

v3:
   - fixes bleh blah blah
v2:
   - fixes 0-day report by ... etc..
   - fixes spelling or whatever

I cannot decipher what you did here differently, not do I want to go
looking and diff'ing. So you are making the life of reviewer harder.

Matthew also reminded me to add the change log, but I don't think it is necessary to write the change log to fix the errors in the patch. Anyway, I think it is a good habit and will add these contents in the new v3 version.
