The current memory region move test correctly handles the situation that the second (realigning) memslot move operation would temporarily trigger MMIO until it completes, however it does not handle the case in which the first (misaligning) move operation does this, too. This results in false test assertions in case it does so.
Fix this by handling temporary MMIO from the first memslot move operation in the test guest code, too.
