pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()
The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.

A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.
