If multiple packets miscompare in a short timeframe, the semaphore
value will be increased multiple times. This causes multiple
checkpoints even if one would be sufficient.
Fix this by using a event instead of a semaphore for triggering
checkpoints. Now, checkpoint requests will be ignored until the
checkpoint event is sent to colo-compare (which releases the
miscompared packets).
