Failed to copy '...' to '/run/systemd/mount-root/': Operation not permitted
(sd-copy) failed with exit status 1.
The issue is that if there's a file owned by non-root and we try to copy
it into a newly-created DOS partition, fchown fails:
fchown(11</run/systemd/mount-root/...>, 1000, 1000) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
We want to ignore file ownership in such cases, so pass our own UID/GID
to copy_tree_at(), which turns the fchown into a noop and let's the
operation pass through.
