    x86, mem: Optimize memcpy by avoiding memory false dependece

Which means btrfs passes overlapping areas to memcpy. I've added some debug info
and found out rough place:
touching files 1 .. 11
#run> touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

which is in extent_io:copy_pages. I haven't dig further only made sure the 
following
patch below (practically converts copy_pages to move_pages). It certainly does 
not
look the right thing, but I don't understand extent_io contents yet to 
understand what
actually happened.
