3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <[email protected]> commit 3734a13b96ebf039b293d8d37a934fd1bd9e03ab upstream. This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers() performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly to the 'user_struct'. This change is needed in preparation for a subsequent patch that the fixes the limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (and the resulting code is a little more logical).
