When copying up within the same fs, try to use f_op->copy_file_range().
This becomes very efficient when lower and upper are on the same fs
with file reflink support.
Tested correct behavior when lower and upper are on:
1. same ext4 (copy)
2. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs (copy)
3. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (clone)
4. different xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (copy)
Verified that all the overlay xfstests pass in the 'same xfs+reflink'
setup.
For comparison, on my laptop, xfstest overlay/001 (copy up of large
sparse files) takes less than 1 second in the xfs reflink setup vs.
25 seconds on the rest of the setups.
