The default ping-pong uses sizeof(int) (4 bytes) per iteration, which
exercises only the pipe-buffer merge path and keeps allocation entirely
out of the picture. That makes the bench a useful scheduler / context-
switch latency probe but unable to surface anything from the pipe
page-allocation hot path.
Add a -s/--write-size option that sets the bytes written and read per
ping-pong iteration. The buffer is allocated for each side via struct
thread_data and replaces the on-stack int previously used. The default
remains sizeof(int) so existing invocations are unchanged.
With --write-size set above PAGE_SIZE the bench drives anon_pipe_write()
through alloc_page() (or the bulk pre-alloc, if the relevant patch is
applied), which is what we want when measuring pipe locking and page
allocation work.
The bench is a ping-pong: both sides call write() before read(), so a
single write_size payload must fit entirely in the pipe buffer or both
sides deadlock waiting for the other to drain.
Resize the pipe via F_SETPIPE_SZ to match write_size (skipped at the
sizeof(int) default), and error out cleanly when the request exceeds
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size.
