Fabio M. De Francesco 9384d79249 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
