Thomas Huth c398c76187 tests/migration/aarch64: Speed up the aarch64 migration test
The migration tests spend a lot of time waiting for a sign of live
of the guest on the serial console. The aarch64 migration code only
outputs "B"s every couple of seconds (at least it takes more than 4
seconds between each characeter on my x86 laptop). There are a lot
of migration tests, and if each test that checks for a successful
migration waits for these characters before and after migration, the
wait time sums up to multiple minutes! Let's use a shorter delay to
speed things up.

While we're at it, also remove a superfluous masking with 0xff - we're
reading and storing bytes, so the upper bits of the register do not
matter anyway.

With these changes, the test runs twice as fast on my laptop, decreasing
the total run time from approx. 8 minutes to only 4 minutes!
