[RFC][PATCH 2/5] fs: add support for copy file range from another fs

Add a declarative vfs flag FOP_CROSS_FS_COPY for filesystems that may
be able copy from/to other fs and implement the copy from another fs,
which is the easy side.

When filesystem is copying from another fs, it will typically call vfs
read helpers to read from the other fs, so avoid the double accounting
and double fsnotify read hooks in vfs_copy_file_range().

Implementation of copy to another fs is a bit more subtle and will be
handled by a followup patch.
