Subject: [PATCH 5/5] x86: mremap speedup - Enable HAVE_MOVE_PUD

HAVE_MOVE_PUD enables remapping pages at the PUD level if both the
source and destination addresses are PUD-aligned.

With HAVE_MOVE_PUD enabled it can be inferred that there is approximately
a 13x improvement in performance on x86. (See data below).

------- Test Results ---------

The following results were obtained using a 5.4 kernel, by remapping
a PUD-aligned, 1GB sized region to a PUD-aligned destination.
The results from 10 iterations of the test are given below:

Total mremap times for 1GB data on x86. All times are in nanoseconds.

Control        HAVE_MOVE_PUD

245722         13998

205721.5       15594    <-- Mean time in nanoseconds

A 1GB mremap completion time drops from ~205 microseconds
to ~15 microseconds on x86. (~13x speed up).
