No point in checking for EOPNOTSUPP here, because ceph_osdc_copy_from()
won't ever return that. This loop needs more massaging and more testing
on old OSDs...

So ret is incremented here, but you have numerious tests where ret is
assigned an error only if ret is 0. Unless I'm missing something, this
interferes with returning errors from __ceph_copy_file_range().

The object size is constant within a file, so ncopies should be too.
Perhaps introduce a counter instead of recalculating ncopies here?

This dout needs updating, but I'd just remove it. The error code is
there in other messages.

Move this function after ceph_osdc_wait_request(), so that they are
close to each other (and osd_req_op_copy_from_init() isn't separated
from ceph_osdc_copy_from() by something unrelated).

Thanks,
