[PATCH] linux-user: Unconditionally use pipe2() syscall

[Helge Deller]

The pipe2() syscall is available on all Linux platforms since kernel
2.6.27, so use it unconditionally to emulate pipe() and pipe2().

It doesn't apply cleanly:

It seems this patch is applied on top of the one you want to replace (is_pipe2 rather than flags).
