[06/15] remap_range: move permission hooks out of do_clone_file_range()

Commit Message

In many of the vfs helpers, file permission hook is called before
taking sb_start_write(), making them "start-write-safe".
do_clone_file_range() is an exception to this rule.

do_clone_file_range() has two callers - vfs_clone_file_range() and
overlayfs. Move remap_verify_area() checks from do_clone_file_range()
out to vfs_clone_file_range() to make them "start-write-safe".

Overlayfs already has calls to rw_verify_area() with the same security
permission hooks as remap_verify_area() has.
The rest of the checks in remap_verify_area() are irrelevant for
overlayfs that calls do_clone_file_range() offset 0 and positive length.

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.
