This version 2 of the mremap speed up patches previously posted at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200930222130.4175584-1-kaleshsingh@google.com

mremap time can be optimized by moving entries at the PMD/PUD level if
the source and destination addresses are PMD/PUD-aligned and
PMD/PUD-sized. Enable moving at the PMD and PUD levels on arm64 and
x86. Other architectures where this type of move is supported and known to
be safe can also opt-in to these optimizations by enabling HAVE_MOVE_PMD
and HAVE_MOVE_PUD.

Observed Performance Improvements for remapping a PUD-aligned 1GB-sized
region on x86 and arm64:

    - HAVE_MOVE_PMD is already enabled on x86 : N/A
    - Enabling HAVE_MOVE_PUD on x86   : ~13x speed up

    - Enabling HAVE_MOVE_PMD on arm64 : ~ 8x speed up
    - Enabling HAVE_MOVE_PUD on arm64 : ~19x speed up

          Altogether, HAVE_MOVE_PMD and HAVE_MOVE_PUD
          give a total of ~150x speed up on arm64.

Changes in v2:
  - Reduce mremap_test time by only validating a configurable
    threshold of the remapped region, as per John.
  - Use a random pattern for mremap validation. Provide pattern
    seed in test output, as per John.
  - Moved set_pud_at() to separate patch, per Kirill.
  - Use switch() instead of ifs in move_pgt_entry(), per Kirill.
  - Update commit message with description of Android
    garbage collector use case for HAVE_MOVE_PUD, as per Joel.
  - Fix build test error reported by kernel test robot in [1].
