mm/highmem: delete memmove_page()
Matthew Wilcox reported that, while he was looking at memmove_page(), he
realized that it can't actually work.
The reasons are hidden in its implementation, which makes use of memmove()
on logical addresses provided by kmap_local_page(). memmove() does the
wrong thing when it tests "if (dest <= src)".
Therefore, delete memmove_page().
No need to change any other code because we have no call sites of
memmove_page() across the whole kernel.
