Well...

How can you be sure 'pipe/inode' really refers to a pipe/fifo here ?

Hint : i_pipe <> NULL is not sufficient because i_pipe, i_bdev, i_cdev share 
the same location. (check pipe_info() in fs/splice.c)

So I guess you need :

err = -EINVAL;
if  (!S_ISFIFO(inode->i_mode))
	goto err_out_iput;
