Revert "fs/pipe: use kvcalloc to allocate a pipe_buffer array"

This reverts commit 85e1ff626f3e1e1b1e832857208c53e78b8fb30d.

It turns out that making the pipe almost arbitrarily large has some
rather unexpected downsides.  The kernel test robot reports a kernel
warning that is due to pipe->max_usage now growing to the point where
the iter_file_splice_write() buffer allocation can no longer be
satisfied as a slab allocation, and the

        int nbufs = pipe->max_usage;
        struct bio_vec *array = kcalloc(nbufs, sizeof(struct bio_vec),
                                        GFP_KERNEL);

code sequence there will now always fail as a result.

That code could be modified to use kvcalloc() too, but I feel very
uncomfortable making those kinds of changes for a very niche use case
that really should have other options than make these kinds of
fundamental changes to pipe behavior.

Maybe the CRIU process dumping should be multi-threaded, and use
multiple pipes and multiple cores, rather than try to use one larger
pipe to minimize splice() calls.
