Extend the XSAVE test's VMOVDQA coverage to also validate KVM's recently
added (and initially broken) emulation of VMOVNTDQA instructions.  Despite
the seemingly generic and all-too-similar names, VMOVNTDQ and VMOVNTDQA
are unidirectional instructions with opposite semantics: VMOVNTDQ *always*
stores to memory, whereas VMOVNTDQA *always* loads from memory.

Rework the checking to use a buffer that is never written as part of the
testcase itself for the source of truth.  KVM's bug was that it mixed up
the direction of VMOVNTDQA, i.e. KVM was loading from registers and storing
to memory.  Comparing the src and dst buffers on a:

  src => reg => dst

sequence won't detect mismatches due to such bugs, i.e. if KVM wrongly
does:

  reg => src, reg => dst

ecause by the end, src == dst, but with the wrong values.
