Yes.  Noi other VFS operation is supported between mountpoint, so
copy_file_range shouldn't be either.

Also a general NAK to any new copy_file_range work before we have
proper xfstests coverage.  And it's not like the coverage is hard,
we already have 100s of tests for clone, which in many way is very
similar and could be partially reused.
