A regression has been reported by Nicolas Boichat, found while using the
copy_file_range syscall to copy a tracefs file. Before commit
5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across devices") the
kernel would return -EXDEV to userspace when trying to copy a file across
different filesystems. After this commit, the syscall doesn't fail anymore
and instead returns zero (zero bytes copied), as this file's content is
generated on-the-fly and thus reports a size of zero.
This patch restores some cross-filesystem copy restrictions that existed
prior to commit 5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across
devices"). Filesystems are still allowed to fall-back to the VFS
generic_copy_file_range() implementation, but that has now to be done
explicitly.
nfsd is also modified to fall-back into generic_copy_file_range() in case
vfs_copy_file_range() fails with -EOPNOTSUPP or -EXDEV.

Changes since v8
- Simply added Amir's Reviewed-by and Olga's Tested-by
Changes since v7
- set 'ret' to '-EOPNOTSUPP' before the clone 'if' statement so that the
error returned is always related to the 'copy' operation
Changes since v6
- restored i_sb checks for the clone operation
Changes since v5
- check if ->copy_file_range is NULL before calling it
Changes since v4
- nfsd falls-back to generic_copy_file_range() only *if* it gets -EOPNOTSUPP
or -EXDEV.
Changes since v3
- dropped the COPY_FILE_SPLICE flag
- kept the f_op's checks early in generic_copy_file_checks, implementing
Amir's suggestions
- modified nfsd to use generic_copy_file_range()
Changes since v2
- do all the required checks earlier, in generic_copy_file_checks(),
adding new checks for ->remap_file_range
- new COPY_FILE_SPLICE flag
- don't remove filesystem's fallback to generic_copy_file_range()
- updated commit changelog (and subject)
Changes since v1 (after Amir review)
- restored do_copy_file_range() helper
- return -EOPNOTSUPP if fs doesn't implement CFR
- updated commit description
