Or more precisely, ENOENT will be unusual for fd operations,
and so falling back to a standard copy should just be
restricted to this or similar cases.

If this was seen on a single CIFS mount it may be
less appropriate as then the user may not want to
fall back to a client side copy, when a server side should work.
But in this separate mount case, the fallback is appropriate.
I guess we could restrict to separate device IDs,
but that's probably getting too complicated for this.

Pushed.
Marking this as done.

cheers,
