[MC-182442] Soul sand slowness applied when walking on slabs placed above the soul sand

The bug

When you have soul sand on the ground, and place a half slab on top (I put cobblestone) it continues to give the slowness effect that is applied when you would be walking on it.

I expected to walk at normal speed when walking on the half slab placed on soul sand. I walked slow.

How to reproduce

Place a block of soul sand
Place a slab on top
Walk on it

The bug is also present in 20w18a and is indeed unintentional (source). You might want to include a video demonstrating the issue, though it is not obligatory.
