Auto merge of #79274 - the8472:probe-eperm, r=nagisa

implement better availability probing for copy_file_range

Followup to #75428 (comment)

Previously syscall detection was overly pessimistic. Any attempt to copy to an immutable file (EPERM) would disable copy_file_range support for the whole process.

The change tries to copy_file_range on invalid file descriptors which will never run into the immutable file case and thus we can clearly distinguish syscall availability.
