[PATCH 3/6] tests/qemu-iotests: Allow to run "./check -n" from the source directory, too

[Thomas Huth]

For better integration of the iotests into the meson build system, it
would be very helpful to get the list of the tests in the "auto" group
during the "configure" step already. However, "check -n -g auto"
currently only works if the binaries have already been built. Re-order
the code in the "check" a little bit so that we can use the -n option
without building the binaries first.
