[PATCH] mm: Fix warning in move_normal_pmd()

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

mremap(2) does not allow source and destination regions to overlap, but
shift_arg_pages() calls move_page_tables() directly and in this case the
source and destination overlap often. It confuses move_normal_pmd():

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 27091 at mm/mremap.c:211 move_page_tables+0x6ef/0x720

move_normal_pmd() expects the destination PMD to be empty, but when
ranges overlap nobody removes PTE page tables on source side.
move_ptes() only removes PTE entries, leaving tables behind.
When the source PMD becomes destination and alignment/size is right we
step onto the warning.

The warning is harmless: kernel correctly fallbacks to handle entries on
per-entry basis.

The fix is to avoid move_normal_pmd() if we see that source and
destination ranges overlap.
