memmove allow source and destination address to be overlap,
but no limitation for memcpy. So memmove use forward or
backward copy mode to handle src > dest and dest > src cases respectively.
However memcpy has not address overlap, it may use any copy mode
theoretically. Our original memmove will call memcpy and assume
it must use forward copy mode, otherwise the system will crash,
it is potential issue. The patch avoid assumption, meanwhile
re-active patch id a1e5278e40f16a4611264f8da9e557c16cb6f6ed,
which will use forward/backward copy mode according to offset address.

In this version we try to keep and optimize original memmove.
