vfs: deny copy_file_range() for non regular files

commit 11cbfb10775aa2a01cee966d118049ede9d0bdf2 upstream.

There is no in-tree file system that implements copy_file_range()
for non regular files.

Deny an attempt to copy_file_range() a directory with EISDIR
and any other non regualr file with EINVAL to conform with
behavior of vfs_{clone,dedup}_file_range().

This change is needed prior to converting sb_start_write()
to  file_start_write() in the vfs helper.
