[PATCH v4 7/9] vfs: Remove copy_file_range mountpoint checks

[Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker-HgOvQuBEEgTQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

I still want to do an in-kernel copy even if the files are on different
mountpoints, and NFS has a "server to server" copy that expects two
files on different mountpoints.  Let's have individual filesystems
implement this check instead.
