mm/mremap: thread state through move page table operation
Finish refactoring the page table logic by threading the PMC state
throughout the operation, allowing us to control the operation as we go.
Additionally, update the old_addr, new_addr fields in move_page_tables()
as we progress through the process making use of the fact we have this
state object now to track this.
With these changes made, not only is the code far more readable, but we
can finally transmit state throughout the entire operation, which lays the
groundwork for sensibly making changes in future to how the mremap()
operation is performed.
Additionally take the opportunity to refactor the means of determining the
progress of the operation, abstracting this to pmc_progress() and
simplifying the logic to make it clearer what's going on.
