3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: David Carrillo-Cisneros <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 0973ad97c187e06aece61f685b9c3b2d93290a73 ] Session sets a number parameters that rely on evlist. These parameters are not used in pipe-mode and should not be set, since evlist is unavailable. Fix that.
