ovl: use vfs_clone_file_range() for copy up if possible
When copying up within the same fs, try to use vfs_clone_file_range(). This is very efficient when lower and upper are on the same fs with file reflink support. If vfs_clone_file_range() fails for any reason, copy up falls back to the regular data copy code. Tested correct behavior when lower and upper are on: 1. same ext4 (copy) 2. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs (copy) 3. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (reflink) 4. different xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (copy) For comparison, on my laptop, xfstest overlay/001 (copy up of large sparse files) takes less than 1 second in the xfs reflink setup vs. 25 seconds on the rest of the setups.
