Don't let parts of compound pages/multipage folios be gifted by (vm)splice
into a pipe as the other end may only be expecting single-page gifts (fuse
and virtio console for example).

replace_page_cache_folio(), for example, will do the wrong thing if it
tries to replace a single paged folio with a multipage folio.

Try to avoid this by making add_to_pipe() remove the gift flag on multipage
folios.
