How does the copyright claim work here? You're just moving code from a
file (extent-tree.c) that has

  "Copyright (C) 2007 Oracle.  All rights reserved."

Adding company copyright to new files that implement something
completely new seems to be fine and I don't object against adding it,
though personally I think it's pointless to add the copyrights when
there's the Signed-off-by mechanism and full and immutable history of
changes tracked in git and newly the SPDX tag to disperse any confusion
about licensing of individual files.
