pipe_rdwr_fasync: fix the error handling to prevent the leak/crash
If the second fasync_helper() fails, pipe_rdwr_fasync() returns the error but leaves the file on ->fasync_readers. This was always wrong, but since 233e70f4228e78eb2f80dc6650f65d3ae3dbf17c "saner FASYNC handling on file close" we have the new problem. Because in this case setfl() doesn't set FASYNC bit, __fput() will not do ->fasync(0), and we leak fasync_struct with ->fa_file pointing to the freed file.
