copy: with fiemap copy, only sync when needed
* src/extent-scan.h (struct extent_scan): Add the fm_flags member to pass to the fiemap scan. * src/extent-scan.c (extent_need_sync): A new function used to detect Linux kernels before 2.6.38. (extent_scan_init): Add FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC when needed. * tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Adjust comment. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Indirectly suggested by Mike Frysinger
