copy_file_range.2: Fix wrong kernel version information
commit d7ba612d0 ("copy_file_range.2: Update cross-filesystem support
for 5.12") prematurely documented kernel 5.12 as the version that
changes the cross-fs copy_file_range() behavior, but that behavior
change was only merged in kernel version 5.19.
