Fix by returning -EINVAL instead of 0, per man page of copy_file_range,
Huh?  That's not what the manpage[1] says:

RETURN VALUE
        Upon successful completion, copy_file_range() will return the
number of bytes copied between files.  This could be less than the
length originally requested.  If the file offset of fd_in is at or past
the end of file, no bytes are copied, and copy_file_range() returns
zero.

In the ERROR section:

ERROR
	EINVAL Requested range extends beyond the end of the source file; or the flags argument is not 0.

when the requested range extends beyond the end of the source file.
Problem was discovered by subtest inter11 of nfstest_ssc.
