pipe: set lower and upper limit on max pages in the pipe page array

Browse source 
We need at least two to guarantee proper POSIX behaviour, so
never allow a smaller limit than that.

Also expose a /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-pages sysctl file that allows
root to define a sane upper limit. Make it default to 16 times the
default size, which is 16 pages.
