Subject: pipe: fix off-by-one error when checking buffer limits

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

commit 9903a91c763ecdae333a04a9d89d79d2b8966503 upstream.

With pipe-user-pages-hard set to 'N', users were actually only allowed up to 'N - 1' buffers; and likewise for pipe-user-pages-soft.

Fix this to allow up to 'N' buffers, as would be expected.
