Hmm, might have found a problem with this approach: say we drop the lock,
queue the data into the pipe, and at the same time tcp_collapse() is called
which frees some of the skbs of which data we just queued in the pipe. Later,
when we will read from the pipe, we will get random data instead of socket
data...
Thanks,
