<p>You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> 2D integer matrix <code>grid</code> of size <code>3 * 3</code>, representing the number of stones in each cell. The grid contains exactly <code>9</code> stones, and there can be <strong>multiple</strong> stones in a single cell.</p>

<p>In one move, you can move a single stone from its current cell to any other cell if the two cells share a side.</p>

<p>Return <em>the <strong>minimum number of moves</strong> required to place one stone in each cell</em>.</p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,1,0],[1,1,1],[1,2,1]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong> One possible sequence of moves to place one stone in each cell is: 
1- Move one stone from cell (2,1) to cell (2,2).
2- Move one stone from cell (2,2) to cell (1,2).
3- Move one stone from cell (1,2) to cell (0,2).
In total, it takes 3 moves to place one stone in each cell of the grid.
It can be shown that 3 is the minimum number of moves required to place one stone in each cell.

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,3,0],[1,0,0],[1,0,3]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
<strong>Explanation:</strong> One possible sequence of moves to place one stone in each cell is:
1- Move one stone from cell (0,1) to cell (0,2).
2- Move one stone from cell (0,1) to cell (1,1).
3- Move one stone from cell (2,2) to cell (1,2).
4- Move one stone from cell (2,2) to cell (2,1).
In total, it takes 4 moves to place one stone in each cell of the grid.
It can be shown that 4 is the minimum number of moves required to place one stone in each cell.
