You could also get rid of the separate ret/count variables
and use ssize_t everywhere; that's the declared return type
of rw_copy_check_uvector and __splice_from_pipe, after all.

Hunks after the first two are optional extras to make types
consistent in other functions in that file, although I stopped
once I realized how big a job it owuld be to do it all.
