commit dfad37051a ("remap_range: move permission hooks out of
do_clone_file_range()") moved the permission hooks from
do_clone_file_range() out to its caller vfs_clone_file_range(),
but left all the fast sanity checks in do_clone_file_range().
This makes the expensive security hooks be called in situations
that they would not have been called before (e.g. fs does not support
clone).
The only reason for the do_clone_file_range() helper was that overlayfs
did not use to be able to call vfs_clone_file_range() from copy up
context with sb_writers lock held. However, since commit c63e56a4a6
("ovl: do not open/llseek lower file with upper sb_writers held"),
overlayfs just uses an open coded version of vfs_clone_file_range().
Merge_clone_file_range() into vfs_clone_file_range(), restoring the
original order of checks as it was before the regressing commit and adapt
the overlayfs code to call vfs_clone_file_range() before the permission
hooks that were added by commit ca7ab48240 ("ovl: add permission hooks
outside of do_splice_direct()").
Note that in the merge of do_clone_file_range(), the file_start_write()
context was reduced to cover ->remap_file_range() without holding it
over the permission hooks, which was the reason for doing the regressing
commit in the first place.
