In the case where the iomap is a write operation and iomap is not equal
to srcmap after iomap_begin, we consider it is a CoW operation.
The destance extent which iomap indicated is new allocated extent.
So, it is needed to copy the data from srcmap to new allocated extent.
In theory, it is better to copy the head and tail ranges which is
outside of the non-aligned area instead of copying the whole aligned
range. But in dax page fault, it will always be an aligned range. So,
we have to copy the whole range in this case.

Is this version better? Feel free to update/change.
dax_iomap_cow_copy(): This can be called from two places.
Either during DAX write fault, to copy the length size data to daddr.
Or, while doing normal DAX write operation, dax_iomap_actor() might call
this to do the copy of either start or end unaligned address. In this
case the rest of the copy of aligned ranges is taken care by
dax_iomap_actor() itself.
Also, note DAX fault will always result in aligned pos and pos + length.
* @pos: address to do copy from.
* @length: size of copy operation.
* @align_size: aligned w.r.t align_size (either PMD_SIZE or PAGE_SIZE)
* @srcmap: iomap srcmap
* @daddr: destination address to copy to.

do we need bool copy_edge here?
We can detect non-align case directly if head_off != pos or pd_end !=
end no?

Can you pls help me understand in which case where saddr is 0 and we
will fall back to memset API ?
I was thinking shouldn't such restrictions be coded inside
copy_mc_to_kernel() function in general?
