Before enabling copy for dm target, check if underlying devices and

Fail early if the request needs split, currently splitting copy
request is not supported.

And here is where I would have expected the emulation to take place;
didn't you have it in one of the earlier iterations?
After all, device-mapper already has the infrastructure for copying
data between devices, so adding a copy-offload emulation for device-mapper should be trivial.
