Mark Johnston 3a36797ad6 FreeBSD: Fix RLIMIT_FSIZE handling for block cloning
ZFS implements copy_file_range(2) using block cloning when possible.
This implementation must respect the RLIMIT_FSIZE limit.

zfs_clone_range() already checks the limit, so it is safe to remove this
check in zfs_freebsd_copy_file_range().  Moreover, the removed check
produces false positives: the length passed to copy_file_range(2) may be
larger than the input file size; as the man page notes, "for best
performance, call copy_file_range() with the largest len value
possible."  In particular, some existing code passes SSIZE_MAX there.

The check in zfs_clone_range() clamps the length to the input file's
size before checking, but the removed check uses the caller supplied
length, so something like

$ echo a > /tmp/foo
$ limits -f 1024 cat /tmp/foo > /tmp/bar

fails because FreeBSD's cat(1) uses copy_file_range(2) in the manner
described above.
