ITER_PIPE: helper for getting pipe buffer by index

pipe_buffer instances of a pipe are organized as a ring buffer,
with power-of-2 size.  Indices are kept *not* reduced modulo ring
size, so the buffer refered to by index N is
pipe->bufs[N & (pipe->ring_size - 1)].

Ring size can change over the lifetime of a pipe, but not while
the pipe is locked.  So for any iov_iter primitives it's a constant.
Original conversion of pipes to this layout went overboard trying
to microoptimize that - calculating pipe->ring_size - 1, storing
it in a local variable and using through the function.  In some
cases it might be warranted, but most of the times it only
obfuscates what's going on in there.

Introduce a helper (pipe_buf(pipe, N)) that would encapsulate
that and use it in the obvious cases.  More will follow...
