vfs: strengthen checking of file range inputs to generic_remap_checks
File range remapping, if allowed to run past the destination file's EOF,
is an optimization on a regular file write. Regular file writes that
extend the file length are subject to various constraints which are not
checked by range cloning.
This is a correctness problem because we're never allowed to touch
ranges that the page cache can't support (s_maxbytes); we're not
supposed to deal with large offsets (MAX_NON_LFS) if O_LARGEFILE isn't
set; and we must obey resource limits (RLIMIT_FSIZE).
Therefore, add these checks to the new generic_remap_checks function so
that we curtail unexpected behavior.
