There are two files, which are not reflinked, need to be direct_access()
here. The iomap_apply() can handle one file each time. So, it seems
that iomap_apply() is not suitable for this case...


The pseudo code of this process is as follows:

srclen = ops->begin(&srcmap)
destlen = ops->begin(&destmap)

direct_access(&srcmap, &saddr)
direct_access(&destmap, &daddr)

same = memcpy(saddr, daddr, min(srclen,destlen))

ops->end(&destmap)
ops->end(&srcmap)

I think a nested call like this is necessary. That's why I use the open
code way.
