If flags includes COPY_FILE_RANGE_FILESIZE then the length
copied is the length of the file. off_in and off_out are
ignored. len must be 0.
This implementation saves a call to stat() in the common case
of copying files. It does not fix any race conditions.
EINVAL: If COPY_FILE_RANGE_FILESIZE was passed and len is not 0.

v2: do not accept len == size.
