Code looks ok.
You may add:

Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

I agree with Trond that the first paragraph of the commit message could
be improved.
The purpose of this change is to fix the change of behavior that
caused the regression.

Before v5.3, behavior was -EXDEV and userspace could fallback to read.
After v5.3, behavior is zero size copy.

It does not matter so much what makes sense for CFR to do in this
case (generic cross-fs copy).  What matters is that nobody asked for
this change and that it caused problems.

Thanks,
Amir.
