Here's a first stab at this patch.  Hopefully I didn't forgot anything
here.  Let me know if you prefer the more conservative approach, i.e. not
touching any of the filesystems and let them use generic_copy_file_range.

Once everyone agrees on the final solution, I can follow-up with the
manpages update.

Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] vfs: prevent copy_file_range to copy across devices

Nicolas Boichat reported an issue when trying to use the copy_file_range
syscall on a tracefs file.  It failed silently because the file content is
generated on-the-fly (reporting a size of zero) and copy_file_range needs
to know in advance how much data is present.

This commit effectively reverts 5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to
copy across devices").  Now the copy is done only if the filesystems for source
and destination files are the same and they implement this syscall.

Fixes: 5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across devices")
