[PATCH] splice: fix problem introduced with inode diet

After the inode slimming patch that unionised i_pipe/i_bdev/i_cdev, it's
no longer enough to check for existance of ->i_pipe to verify that this
is a pipe.

Original patch from Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>
Final solution suggested by Linus.
