Restrictions on cross-device copy_file_range() only affect the
vfs_copy_file_range() call to the lower filesystems. They will
handle the copy appropriately, so OVL will never see a EXDEV error
from them. Hence we can remove the EXDEV checks and error handling
from the ovl_copy_file_range() implementation.
