From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Restrictions on cross-device copy_file_range() only affect the vfs_copy_file_range() call to the lower filesystems. They will handle the copy appropriately, so OVL will never see a EXDEV error from them. Hence we can remove the EXDEV checks and error handling from the ovl_copy_file_range() implementation.
