I think I found it.

TOTALLY UNTESTED patch appended. It's whitespace-damaged and may be
completely wrong. And might not fix it.

The first hunk is purely syntactic sugar - use the normal head/tail
order. The second/third hunk is what I think fixes the problem:
iter_file_splice_write() had the same buggy "let's cache
head/tail/mask" pattern as pipe_write() had.

You can't cache them over a 'pipe_wait()' that drops the pipe lock,
and there's one in splice_from_pipe_next().
