All pipe operations (pipe_buf_operations->get, ->release, ->steal) are
supposed to be called under pipe_lock. So, if we see a pipe_buffer->page
with refcount of 1 in ->steal, that means that we are the only its user
and it can't be spliced to another pipe.

In fact, I just copied the code from generic_pipe_buf_steal, adding
kmemcg related checks along the way, so it should be fine.

Thanks,
Vladimir
