The intention of sdbus_reparent_card() is that it moves
something from the 'src' bus to the 'dst' bus. So one
call is supposed to do the whole job of the move. If
it doesn't, then that's a bug.

I thought the raspi machines had an sd card that could
either be connected to one of the controllers, or the
other. Why would the sd card ever be somewhere else
than on one of those two buses? If the machine creation
puts the sdcard somewhere wrong then we should probably
just fix that.
