This is exactly what this check prevents: if we have two CephFS from two
unrelated clusters mounted and we try to copy a file across them, the
operation will fail with -EXDEV[1] because the FSIDs for these two
ceph_fs_client will be different.  OTOH, if these two filesystems are
within the same cluster (and thus with the same FSID), then the OSDs are
able to do 'copy-from' operations between them.

I've tested all these scenarios and they seem to be handled correctly.
Now, I'm assuming that *all* OSDs within the same ceph cluster can
communicate between themselves; if this assumption is false, then this
patch is broken.  But again, I'm not aware of any mechanism that
prevents 2 OSDs from communicating between them.

[1] Actually, the files will still be copied because we'll fallback into
the default VFS generic_copy_file_range behaviour, which is to do
reads+writes operations.
