[PATCH] fuse: skip destination updates for zero-byte copy

Message-ID <[email protected]>
__fuse_copy_file_range() may receive a successful copy reply with zero
bytes copied.  This can happen even though the VFS only calls the file
operation with a non-zero length, for example if the FUSE daemon reaches
EOF while the kernel has stale source size information.

In that case no data was written to the destination.  Do not invalidate
the destination page cache or update the destination timestamps and cached
size state for a zero-byte copy result.
