pipe_read: don't wake up the writer if the pipe is still full

wake_up(pipe->wr_wait) makes no sense if pipe_full() is still true after
the reading, the writer sleeping in wait_event(wr_wait, pipe_writable())
will check the pipe_writable() == !pipe_full() condition and sleep again.

Only wake the writer if we actually released a pipe buf, and the pipe was
full before we did so.
