Falling back from copy to clone should be done in the VFS.  I look into
implementing the fallback, and the code is trivial, but we don't seem
to have any useful coverage for copy_file_range yet, so I didn't dare
to add it yet.  How did you test copy and clone in f2fs?  And how did
you handle the difference in corner cases (e.g. the lacking 0 special
case in copy)?
