copy_file_range syscall returns -EXDEV if src and dest
file are not on the same file system.
The vfs_copy_file_range() helper, however, knows how to copy
across file systems with do_splice_direct().

Move the enforcement of same file system from the vfs helper
to the syscall code.

A following patch is going to use the vfs_copy_file_range()
helper in overlayfs to copy up between lower and upper
not on the same file system.

Indenting is wrong, and you dropped an important comment. i.e
copy_file_range() still doesn't support cross fs copies.....

For the purposes of this patch, it should simply do what it already
does. If there's a API semantic change that needs to be made, then
get that sorted out now rather than adding a "fixme" comment that
will simply be ignored....

Cheers,

Dave.
