pipe: fix off-by-one error when checking buffer limits
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
