Linus Torvalds f467a6a664 pipe: fix and clarify pipe read wakeup logic
This is the read side version of the previous commit: it simplifies the
logic to only wake up waiting writers when necessary, and makes sure to
use a synchronous wakeup.  This time not so much for GNU make jobserver
reasons (that pipe never fills up), but simply to get the writer going
quickly again.

A bit less verbose commentary this time, if only because I assume that
the write side commentary isn't going to be ignored if you touch this
code.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
