With commit c73be61cede5882f9605a852414db559c0ebedfd a regression was
introduced that would lock up resized pipes under certain conditions.
In that commit resizing the pipe ring size was moved to a different
function, doing that moved the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait before actually
raising pipe->max_usage. If a pipe was full before the resize occured it
would result in the wakeup never actually triggering pipe_write,
resulting in a deadlock.
This patch moves the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait back to the original
pipe_set_size function, after pipe->max_usage has actually been updated.
