pipe: increase minimum default pipe size to 2 pages

Browse Source 
This program always prints 4096 and hangs before the patch, and always
prints 8192 and exits successfully after:

  int main()
  {
      int pipefd[2];
      for (int i = 0; i < 1025; i++)
          if (pipe(pipefd) == -1)
              return 1;
      size_t bufsz = fcntl(pipefd[1], F_GETPIPE_SZ);
      printf("%zd\n", bufsz);
      char *buf = calloc(bufsz, 1);
      write(pipefd[1], buf, bufsz);
      read(pipefd[0], buf, bufsz-1);
      write(pipefd[1], buf, 1);
  }

Note that you may need to increase your RLIMIT_NOFILE before running the
program.

/*
* New pipe buffers will be restricted to this size while the user is exceeding
* their pipe buffer quota. The general pipe use case needs at least two
* buffers: one for data yet to be read, and one for new data. If this is less
* than two, then a write to a non-empty pipe may block even if the pipe is not
* full. This can occur with GNU make jobserver or similar uses of pipes as
* semaphores: multiple processes may be waiting to write tokens back to the
* pipe before reading tokens: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1628086770.5rn8p04n6j.none@localhost/.
*
* Users can reduce their pipe buffers with F_SETPIPE_SZ below this at their
* own risk, namely: pipe writes to non-full pipes may block until the pipe is
* emptied.
