fs/pipe: use spinlock in pipe_read() only if there is a watch_queue

If there is no watch_queue, holding the pipe mutex is enough to
prevent concurrent writes, and we can avoid the spinlock.

O_NOTIFICATION_QUEUE is an exotic and rarely used feature, and of all
the pipes that exist at any given time, only very few actually have a
watch_queue, therefore it appears worthwile to optimize the common
case.

This patch does not optimize pipe_resize_ring() where the spinlocks
could be avoided as well; that does not seem like a worthwile
optimization because this function is not called often.
