generic_remap_checks() can reduce the effective request length (i.e.,
after the reflink extend to EOF case is handled) down to zero. If this
occurs, __generic_remap_file_range_prep() proceeds through dio
serialization, file mapping flush calls, and may invoke file_modified()
before returning back to the filesystem caller, all of which immediately
check for len == 0 and return.

While this is mostly harmless, it is spurious and not completely
without side effect. A filemap write call can submit I/O (but not
wait on it) when the specified end byte precedes the start but
happens to land on the same aligned page boundary, which can occur
from __generic_remap_file_range_prep() when len is 0.

The dedupe path already has a len == 0 check to break out before
doing range comparisons. Lift this check a bit earlier in the
function to cover the general case of len == 0 and avoid the
unnecessary work. While here, account for the case where
generic_remap_check_len() may also reduce length to zero.
