[v3 23/24] selftests/mm: add partial_mremap test for move_page_tables

Add test for partial mremap on THP which exercises move_page_tables().
This verifies that partial mremap correctly splits the PMD, moves
only the requested page, and preserves data integrity in both the
moved region and the original mapping.
