Amir Goldstein 2ea9846649 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.
