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. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
