    io: Remove copy_file_range emulation [BZ #24744]

    The kernel is evolving this interface (e.g., removal of the
    restriction on cross-device copies), and keeping up with that
    is difficult.  Applications which need the function should
    run kernels which support the system call instead of relying on
    the imperfect glibc emulation.
