From: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in>

commit d6785d9152147596f60234157da2b02540c3e60f upstream.

Running the following command:

 busybox cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > /dev/null

with any tracing enabled pretty very quickly leads to various NULL
pointer dereferences and VM BUG_ON()s, such as these:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020

(busybox's cat uses sendfile(2), unlike the coreutils version)

This is because tracing_splice_read_pipe() can call splice_to_pipe()
with spd->nr_pages == 0.  spd_pages underflows in splice_to_pipe() and
we fill the page pointers and the other fields of the pipe_buffers with
garbage.

All other callers of splice_to_pipe() avoid calling it when nr_pages ==
0, and we could make tracing_splice_read_pipe() do that too, but it
seems reasonable to have splice_to_page() handle this condition
gracefully.
