[PATCH] fs/pipe: Correct imprecise wording in comment

[Kienan Stewart]

The comment inaccurately describes what pipefs is - that is, a file
system.

Hi,

while reading through `pipe.c`, I noticed that the comment explaining
why pipefs should not be mounted in user space inaccurately describes
what pipefs is - that is, a file system.

While I understand the original language used in context, I believe
this change increases the legibility of the comment.

thanks,
kienan
