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.
