watchqueue: make sure to serialize 'wqueue->defunct' properly

When the pipe is closed, we mark the associated watchqueue defunct by
calling watch_queue_clear().  However, while that is protected by the
watchqueue lock, new watchqueue entries aren't actually added under that
lock at all: they use the pipe->rd_wait.lock instead, and looking up
that pipe happens without any locking.

The watchqueue code uses the RCU read-side section to make sure that the
wqueue entry itself hasn't disappeared, but that does not protect the
pipe_info in any way.

So make sure to actually hold the wqueue lock when posting watch events,
properly serializing against the pipe being torn down.
